From  Miss  Arethusa  Hall,  Northampton,  Mass. 

As  to  your  order  of  construction,  I  am  not  able  to  judge  of  it  in 
comparison  with  other  works  of  the  kind,  but  I  find  it  quite  simple 
and  clear. 


From  Prof.  Joseph  Hall,   Principal  of  the  Public   High  School, 

Hartford,  Conn. 

I  have  received  a  copy  of  the  Hall  Family  Records  and  am  very 
much  pleased  with  it.  It  is  much  more  interesting  and  valuable 
than  I  supposed  it  could  be  made. 


From  James  E.  Crane,  New  York. 

The  arrangement  of  your  book  is  excellent,  and  is  to  be  admired 
for  its  novelty  as  well  as  its  conciseness.  We  think  it  reflects  on 
you  great  credit  as  an  author  and  compiler.  One  of  your  biogra- 
phical sketches  is  really  one  of  the  finest  specimens  of  English  com- 
position of  the  sort  I  have  ever  read. 

The  book  is  printed  on  good  paper  and  is  well  bound. 


From  Gardner  Hall,  Sutton,  Mass. 

I  have  received  a  copy  of  your  Hall  Family  Records,  and  here 
and  now  let  me  say,  I  am  perfectly  delighted  with  it.  It  is  wonder- 
ful how  you  have  been  able  to  accumulate  so  many  valuable  facts  of 
our  race. 


From  Dr.  Edioards  Hall,  New  York. 

Out  of  so  many  dry  statistics,  I  must  congratulate  you  for  having 
made  so  readable  a  book,  replete  with  quaint  reminiscences. 

You  have  made  for  yourself  a  durable  monument  and  generously 
inscribed  upon  its  capacious  panels,  not  only  the  names  of  your  own 
family  but  thousands  who  bear  the  Hall  name.  Future  generations 
will  hold  you  in  grateful  remembrance. 


From  Mr$.  Caroline  B.  JEustis,  Cambridge,  Mass. 

We  fully  appreciate  your  great  labor.  I  had  no  idea  of  the  mag- 
nitude of  your  work,  and  I  am  sure  that  you  will  receive  the  hearty 
thanks  of  every  one  whose  name  you   have  rescued  from   oblivion. 


From  AT.  E.  Hist.  Gen.  Register,  Boston. 

The  Halls  are  a  numerous  race.  The  author  gives  a  list  of  83 
early  emigrants  of  the  name.  Be  hat  shown  commendable  perse- 
verance in  collecting  the  memorials  of  these  scattered  families.  Tin- 
volume  is  well  printed  and  well  indexed.  Numerous  portraits,  many 
of  them  steel,  illustrate  the  work. 


From  John  II.  Hall,  Portland,  Conn. 

As  to   the  price  of  your  book    it  is  too  low  j  mine   could   not   be 
bought  at  any  prjoe,  unless  it  could  be  replaced.

EXTRACTS  FROM£LETTERS  RECEIVED. 


J&rom  Rev.  J.  G.  ITall,  D.D.,  Cleveland,    Ohio. 

I  hasten  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  Hall  Family  Records, 
and  my  appreciation  of  your  labor,  patience,  and  courage  in  getting 
it  up.  It  seems  to  me  to  be  one  of  the  best  of  the  kind  that  I  have 
ever  seen. 

From  Capt.  J.   W.  D.  Hall,  Taunton,  Mass. 

The  book  is  a  wonderful  specimen  of  the  result  of  genealogical 
labor,  much  greater  than  I  anticipated,  and  you  are  entitled  to  the 
thanks  of  the  Halls  all  over  New  England,  for  your  persevering  in- 
dustry and  patience  in  producing  such  a  volume. 

From  Ex.  Gov.  Hiland  Hall,  N~.  Bennington,  Vt. 

You  have  been  more  successful  in  gathering  the  Genealogy  of  the 
Halls  of  New  England  than  I  expected,  and  it  appears  to  have  been 
doue  well.  It  contains  a  great  mass  of  information  about  the  various 
lines  of  the  name. 

From  Rev.  Anson  H.  Parmelee,  Seneca  Castle,  N~.  Y. 

Your  book  must  have  cost  you  years  of  pains-taking  labor. 
I  am  much  pleased  with  it.  It  far  exceeds  any  other  book  of 
the  kind  that  I  have  examined  in  natural  and  perspicuous  arrange- 
ment. 

From  Dr.   William  R.  Cutter,  Librarian  of  Woburn,  Mass. 

I  have  examined  with  interest  your  Hall  Family  Records,  a  copy 
of  which  has  been  purchased  for  this  library.  You  have  succeeded 
admirably  in  presenting  so  complete  a  record  of  the  Halls,  embrac- 
ing so  complicated  a  subject  as  that  family  name. 

From  Stephen  H.  Cutter,   Winchester,  Mass. 

My  father  is  pleased  with  your  book,  and  has  given  his  copy  to  a 
nephew,  and  requested  me  to  buy  another  for  him.       ^

THE 


HALLS   OF  NEW    ENGLAND, 


GENEALOGICAL  AND  BIOGRAPHICAL 


Rev    DAVID  B.  ''HALL,  A.  M., 


DUANESBURGH,  N.   Y. 


"  People   begin  seriously  to   think   that  there  is   no   reason 
why  they  should  not  know  something  about  their  progenitors." 
Sam'l  G.  Drake  in  1848. 


ALBANY,  N.  Y.: 

Printed  for  the   Author 

By  JOEL  MUNSELL'S  SONS, 

82  State  Street. 

1883. 


PREFACE. 


"  It  is  a  noble  faculty  of  our  nature,"  said  Daniel  Webster, 
"  which  enables  us  to  connect  our  thoughts  and  sympathies  with 
what  is  before  and  after  us,  and  hold  communion  at  once  with  our 
ancestors  and  our  posterity.  There  is  also  a  moral  and  philosophical 
respect  for  our  ancestors  which  elevates  and  improves  the  heart. 
Next  to  a  sense  of  religious  duty  and  moral  feeling,  I  hardly  know 
what  should  bear  with  stronger  obligation  on  a  liberal  and  enlightened 
mind  than  a  consciousness  of  an  alliance  with  excellence  which  is  de- 
parted, and  a  consciousness  too  that  in  its  acts  and  conduct,  and  even 
in  its  sentiments  and  thoughts,  it  may  be  operating  on  the  happiness 
of  those  that  come  after  it." 

We  cannot  know  ourselves  unless  we  know  our  ancestors.  There 
is  a  distinctness  of  characteristics  which  adhere  to  families  for  many 
generations,  and  sometimes  become  national.  The  mental,  moral, 
and  physical  character  of  the  Jew  of  to-day  may  be  easily  traced  in 
the  family  of  Jacob,  his  great  ancestor. 

Each  individual  is  a  link  in  a  very  long  chain.  This  chain  which 
binds  together  human  affinities  has  marvelous  combinations  and 
variations,  each  one  of  which  it  is  needful  to  understand  in  order  to 
arrive  at  accurate  conclusions. 

Some  links  in  this  chain  are  of  iron,  some  of  silver,  and  others  of 
gold,  but  there  is  still  a  similarity  as  well  as  a  connection,  and  the 
precious  links  reflect  their  excellence  upon  all  the  others. 

And,  as  family  connections  cannot  be  severed,  let  each  portion 
cherish  the  other,  especially  let  children  reverence  their  parents  and 
ancestors,  even  as  thev  may  wish  in  their  turn  to  be  held  in  affectionate 
remembrance  and  honor  by  those  who  may  come  after  them. 

Most  people  know  but  little  of  their  ancestors  beyond  those  with 
whom  they  have  had  a  personal  acquaintance,  and  do  not  possess 
even  a  laudable  curiosity  which  would  lead  them  to  make  inquiries 
after  them.  It  arises  probably  more  from  carelessness  or  the  pressure 
of  business  engagements  than  from  any  want  of  reverence  or 
affection,  so  that  when  their  attention  is  called  to  the  subject  and  the 
means  of  knowing  is  presented,  they  become  interested  and  are  eager 
to  be  informed. 


iv  Hall  Genealogy. 

Hence  the  importance  that  some  should  engage  in  compiling 
family  genealogies,  that  the  hearts  of  the  children  may  be  turned  to 
their  fathers. 

It  is  generally  a  work  of  love  on  the  part  of  the  compiler,  for 
there  is  no  work  so  perplexing  and  wearing  to  the  mind,  none  that 
requires  more  patience  and  perseverance,  and  none  that  receives  less 
praise  or  pecuniary   remuneration. 

HISTORY  OF  THE   WORK. 

At  an  early  age  I  was  eager  to  know  more  of  my  ancestors,  and 
in  1846  I  found  it  convenient  to  visit  the  places  where  they  had 
lived.  I  then  examined  the  records,  and  noted  all  that  I  found  of 
value  concerning  them.  I  had  then  no  thought  of  printing  a  gen- 
ealogy. It  did  not  seriously  engage  my  attention  until,  in  the  process 
of  time,  by  reason  of  advanced  age,  I  had  become  relieved  from  the 
more  laborious  duties  of  my  profession.  But  all  along  I  had  fre- 
quent opportunities  of  receiving  as  well  as  of  imparting  information 
by  an  extensive  correspondence. 

My  first  intention  was  to  compile  only  my  own  line,  the  Halls  of 
Medford,  but  afterwards  I  concluded  to  embrace  in  the  work  all  the 
records  that  I  could  find.  And  I  have  found  much  more  than  I 
then  supposed  was  in  existence,  and  still  the  work  is  far  from  con- 
taining all  that  might  be  obtained. 

I  was  urged  to  engage  in  the  business  by  several  motives,  I  had 
leisure,  I  wished  to  keep  my  mind  employed,  I  was  interested  in  the 
work,  and  above  all  I  considered  it  a  sacred  duty  which  I  owed  to 
all  concerned,  ancestors  and  posterity,  the  living  and  the  dead,  the 
past,  the  present  and  the  future. 

The  work  has  involved  much  more  labor  than  I  anticipated,  as 
well  as  several  years  more  of  time. 

Many  of  those  who  have  given  me  encouragement  and  informa- 
tion have  passed  away,  but  I  do  not  forget  them,  or  others  who  have 
also  sympathized  with  me  in  my  labors,  and  have  procured  the  record 
of  their  ancestors  and  near  of  kin  for  this  work,  I  shall  ever  regard 
them  with  affection  and  gratitude.  They  will  also  receive  the 
thankful  remembrance  of  those  whose  record  they  have  rescued 
from  oblivion  and  placed  in  permanent  form,  for  all  time. 

The  early  Hall  emigrants  were  very  numerous ;  but  little  is 
known  of  many  of  them  ;  the  posterity  of  some  are  traced  only  to  a 
very  limited  extent  ;   while  others  have  a  fair  representation. 


Preface.  v 

By  the  time  this  small  edition  is  disposed  of,  there  will  probably 
be  a  call  for  a  supplement  to  it.  It  should  therefore  be  known 
where  materials  can  be  sent  and  preserved  for  such  a  use. 

Whether  it  will  be  possible  for  me  to  compile  such  a  supplement 
or  not  I  cannot  say  at  present,  but  I  am  willing  to  receive  such  re- 
cords as  may  be  sent  to  me,  and  will  hold  them  in  readiness  for  use 
at  the  proper  time,  I  would  also  request  any  who  may  discover  errors 
in  this  work,  to  send  the  corrections"  to  me  that  they  may  be  inserted 
in  the  supplement. 

ORDER  OF  CONSTRUCTION. 

It  is  essential  to  good  order  in  all  lengthy  genealogies  either  to 
number  the  individuals  or  the  families,  I  have  adopted  the  latter 
method  as  being  more  concise  and  convenient,  saving  much  space 
and  labor. 

NAMES  WHICH  WILL  REAPPEAR. 

Much  perplexity  arises  in  most  genealogies  for  want  of  an  index 
placed  at  the  end  of  such  names  as  will  reappear  as  heads  of  families. 
To  obviate  such  perplexity  and  to  indicate  which  names  will  re- 
appear and  to  enable  the  reader  to  turn  at  once  directly  to  such  a 
family  I  have  given  the  word  family  in  full  with  its  number  as  an 
index  to  such  names  as  will  thus  reappear.  They  will  generally  be 
be  found  in  the  next  generation.  But  as  the  Halls  of  Medford  are 
divided  into  eleven  parts  the  names  of  heads  of  all  the  parts  except 
the  first  are  carried  forward  from  the  first  to  the  other  parts.  For 
instance,  take  the  name  of  Willis  Hall  in  the  family  of  Percival 
Hall  (page  300),  the  index  is  (Family  17,  Part  10),  the  reader  is  to 
look  along  on  the  top  of  the  right  hand  pages  until  Part  10  is  found 
on  page  452,  where  he  will  find  (Family  17;  Willis  Halls.  In  a 
similar  manner  the  heads  of  the  other  Parts  may  be  traced. 

STYLE. 

It  was  my  design  to  adopt  the  line  style  of  construction  but  out 
of  economical  considerations  I  was  obliged  to  adopt  the  solid  form 
thus  being  able  to  comprise  in  one  volume  the  records  which  in  the 
line  style  would  have  been  spread  over  the  pages  of  two  volumes. 
However  by  repeated  importunities  I  have  made  an  exception  in 
favor  of  the  Halls  of  Taunton. 


vi  Hall  Genealogy. 

PEDIGREES. 

To  obviate  the  necessity  of  searching  for  pedigrees  as  in  many 
genealogies,  I  have  adopted  the  method  of  giving  a  full  pedigree  to 
every  head  of  a  family  or  brotherhood  of  families. 

ABBREVIATIONS. 

The  usual  abbreviations  are  employed  in  this  work  as  b.  for  born, 
bapt.  for  baptized,  m.  for  married,  d.  for  died  or  dead,  and  others 
which  are  easily  understood. 

ORIGIN  OF  THE  NAME  HALL. 

The  Surname  Hall  is  derived  from  at  least  three  sources. 

i.  The  Norwegian  word  for  flint  is  hallr,  its  final  letter  is  silent, 
and  only  indicates  the  nominative  case.  The  word  also  signified 
a  hero,  and  on  this  account  the  Norwegians  often  gave  it  as  a  name  to 
their  children,  and  it  finally  became  a  surname.  The  old  Norse 
hallr,  hals  and  the  Anglo-Saxon  haele,  haletta,  signify  the  same,  a 
hero. 

The  surname  Hawes  has  the  same  derivation  as  Hall. 

Hallett  and  Henry  are  diminutives  of  the  same 

Hallse  means  the  son  of  Henry. 

The  Norwegians  settled  quite  extensively  in  Scotland,  and  hence 
the  Scotch  Halls. 

2.  The  English  Manor  House  is  another  source  of  the  name  of 
Hall. 

In  Medieval  documents  the  Manor  House  is  called  "  Alle,  "  Halle, 
"De  Aula  and  "Del  Hall." 

The  principal  apartment  was  the  hall,  which  was  used  as  a  petty 
court  of  justice,  as  well  as  the  scene  of  entertainment,  hence  the 
tenant  or  chief  servitor  acquired  the  surname  De  Aula  or  Del  Hall 
which  was  retained  by  his  eldest  son. 

3.  The  word  in  Welsh  for  salt  is  hall,  and  a  worker  in  salt  is 
haller,  and  a  dwelling  near  salt  works  or  on  low  marshy  ground  near 
the  sea  is  halham,  halla  or  h;ille,  hence  the  origin  of  the  name  of  the 
ancient  Castle  Halla,  now  City  Halie,  in  Saxony,  as  extensive  salt 
works  are  known  to  have  been  located  there.  Or  the  castle  may 
have  taken  its  name  from  its  chief,  who  of  course  was   haele,  hero. 


Preface.  vii 

The  great  mass  of  English  Halls  undoubtedly  are  the  posterity  of 
the  men  of  Halle  who  came  in  the  successive  Saxon  invasions  of 
England.  They  were  called  De  la  Halle,  which  became  a  surname, 
and  is  now  simply  Hall. 

William  of  Normandy,  who  conquered  England,  and  his  followers, 
"  insulted  dreadfully  over  the  ancient  Saxon  nobility  and  spoiled 
their  estates,"  whose  descendants  four  hundred  years  later,  still 
groaning  under  oppression,  glad  to  embrace  so  good  an  opportunity 
for  enjoying  their  ancient  rights  and  love  of  liberty,  emigrated  in  great 
numbers  to  America. 

Is  is  said  that  the  Halls  of  Great  Britain  exceed  in  number  any 
other  name  except  those  of  Smith,  Jones,  Brown  and   Robinson. 

Also,  Albert  Wells,  late  of  New  York,  informed  me  that  he  had 
in  his  possession  106  various  specimens  of  Hall  coat  of  arms.

COAT  OF  ARMS. 


Much  inquiry  has  been  made  for  arms  preserved  in  the  Hall 
families  in  New  England,  and  although  several  have  been  found,  no 
one  of  them  is  satisfactory  in  every  respect,  yet  most  of  them  point 
to  the  Halls  of  Warwickshire,  Eng.,  as  their  origin.  Therefore  I 
have  chosen  that  as  a  representative  illustration.  The  late  Albert 
Welles,  president  of  the  New  York  College  of  Heraldry,  prepared 
the  copy,  and  the  Heliotype  Company  of  Boston,  printed  them. 
The  probability  is  that  the  Chevron  should  have  been  cross  marked 
to  signify  its  being  sable. 

Description. 

Shield,  argent,  on  a  chevron  between  three  columbines,  azure, 
stalked  and  leaved  vert,  a  mullet  of  six  points,  or, 

Crest. 
A  Talbot's  head  erased,  proper. 

Motto. 
Turpiter  Desperatur.

HALLS  OF  MIDDLETOWN,  CONN. 


First  Generation. 

{Family  i.)  Mr.  John  Hall,  the  emigrant  ancestor  of  the  Halls 
of  Middletown,  was  born  in  the  county  of  Kent,  Eng.,  1584.  His 
will  was  dated  May  14,  1673,  in  which  he  stated  that  he  was  then 
nearly  89  years  old  and  that  it  was  the  40th  year  of  his  living  in  New 
England.  He  died  in  Middletown,  Conn.,  May  26,  1673,  m  tne 
89th  year  of  his  age. 

He  married  Esther .      It   is    probable  that    she  died    before 

the  family  emigrated. 

John  Hall  came  from  the  west  of  England  to  Boston  in  1633, 
settled  first  in  Cambridge  and  soon  after  removed  to  Roxbury  where 
the  prefix  of  respect  Mr.  was  accorded  to  him  on  the  records  of  Mr. 
Elliot's  church.  In  those  days  the  prefix  of  Mr.  was  given  to  only 
a  very  few  persons  ;  and  generally  indicated  that  such  persons  were 
entitled  to  a  coat  of  arms. 

John  Hall's  name  is  found  in  a  rate  bill  on  the  records  of  Rox- 
bury for  1634,  in  which  his  family  is  recorded  as  consisting  of  four 
persons. 

Sept.  4,  1633,  Jonn  Hall,  John  Oldham  and  two  other  men  started 
for  the  Connecticut  river,  where  they  were  reported  to  be  in  October. 
They  returned  to  the  Bay  towns  on  the  20th  of  January,  1634.  It  was 
their  tivorable  report  of  the  rich  bottom  lands  on  the  Connecticut, 
which  led  to  the  migrations  from  Dorchester  to  Wethersfield  and 
Winds  ir,  and  from  Cambridge  to  Hartford  in  1635-6. 

Mr.  Hall  was  made  freeman  in  Boston,  1635.  He  probably 
joined  -  Hooker  and  Stone  colony  and  went  to  Hartford  soon  after, 
but  did  lot  remove  his  family  until  1639. 

He  was  a  carpenter  by  trade  and  was  no  doubt  an  efficient  aid  in 
constructing  the  first  buildings  in  Hartford. 

•Mr.  Hall  drew  the  home  lot  No.  77  of  six  acres  on  the  brow  of 
Lord's  hill,  in  1639.  He  also  bought  lands  the  same  year  of  Wm. 
Hooker  :  id  Wm.  Bloomfield. 

The  Hall  lot  No.  77  is  the  same  as  the  Sigourney  place,  and  since 
occupied  by  Gov.  Catlin. 


2  Hall  Genealogy. 

John  Hall  was  a  surveyor  of  highways  in  Hartford,  in  1640. 

In  1650,  having  sold  his  house  and  home  lot  to  Wm.  Spencer,  he 
removed  with  his  family  to  Middletown,  then  called  Matabesick, 
which  had  been  lately  purchased  of  the  great  Sachem  or  Sequin  Sawe- 
heag,  being  one  of  the  original  proprietors. 

This  home  lot  containing  five  acres  was  located  on  the  north-east 
corner  of  Main  street  and  Washington  street  of  Middletown,  running 
to  the  "  Great  River"  and  adjoined  the  home  lot  of  his  son-in-law, 
Thomas  Wetmore  on  the  north. 

He  was  appointed  March  19,  1659,  by  General  Court  held  at  Hart- 
ford "  for  the  entry  and  recording  such  goods  as  are  subject  to 
customs  for  Middletown."  Before  as  well  as  after  this  time  Mr. 
Hall  held  divers  offices  of  honor  and  trust,  indeed  he  seemed  to  be 
the  patriarch  and  leader  of  the  new  settlement. 

Mr.  Hall  was  born  duringt  he  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth,  1584, 
and  lived  through  a  most  eventful  period  of  English  History. 

And  he  no  doubt  rejoiced  in  his  old  age  to  see  his  children 
settled  in  a  broad  and  fertile  land,  and  destined  to  be  henceforth  in 
their  generations  free  from  the  grinding  oppression  of  those  upper  and 
lower  millstones — the  nobility  and  the  hierarchy. 

His  posterity  are  very  numerous  and  respectable,  but  we  have 
been  able  to  collect  only  a  small  portion  of  their  names  in  this 
genealogy. 

The  names  of  his  children  were  : 

1.  John,  b.  in  England,  1619  (Family  2). 

2.  Richard,  b.  in  England,  1620  (Family  3). 

3.  Sarah,   b.  in  England,  1622  (Family  4). 

4.  Samuel,  b.  in  England,  1626  (Family  5).

business  with  his  father  in  Middletown.  His  house  was  on  his 
father's  home  lot  of  which  he  occupied  four  acres.  He  was  chosen 
deacon  of  the  church  of  Middletown,  March  11,  1670.  He  was 
tov.n  clerk  and  reeorder  from  1665  to  the  end  of  his  life.  He  also 
represented  the  town  in  General  Courtduring  the  May  session,  1653, 


Halls  of  Middletown.  3 

and  at  other  times.  Dea.  Hall  made  his  will  May  23,  1691,  in  which 
he  gave  most  of  his  estate,  valued  at  =£345  to  his  wife  Mary,  with 
legacies  to  his  step-son  Ebenezer  Hubbard  and  to  the  sons  and  grand- 
sons of  his  brothers  Richard  and  Samuel. 

The  following  pathetic  if  not  poetic  epitaph  upon  his  grave  stone, 
now  standing  in  the  old  Middletown  cemetery,  gives  evidence  of 
his  many  virtues. 

"  Here  lyes  our  Deacon  Hall  who  studied  peace  with  all, 
Was  upright  in  his  life,  void  of  malignant  strife 
Gone  to  his  rest  —  left  us  in  sorrow 
Doubtless  his  good  works  will  him  follow."' 

[Family  3.)  Richard  Hall2,  John1:  b.  in  England  in  1620;  d.

March  30,  1691,  only  three  days  after  the  death  of  her  husband. 
Richard  Hall  was  a  weaver  by  trade.  He  was  a  large  land-holder, 
had  lands  recorded  June  9,  1654.  His  home  lot  containing  five 
acres  was  situated  on  the  north  side  of  Main  street  and  is  a  strip  of 
land  extending  between  Court  and  College  streets  to  High  street. 
He  gave  his  estate,  inventoried  at  =£432,  as  follows  :  to  his  son  John

March  4,  1849,  x-  86  years  to  a  day  ;  m.  at  Norfolk,  Conn.,  by 
Rev.  Ammi  Robbins,  Oct.  12,  1794,  Abigail,  dau.  of  Elijah  Hubbard, 
she  was  born  at  Middletown,  Conn.,  Oct.  18,  1767,  and  died  at 
North  Bennington,  March  24,  1846.  The  emigrant  ancestor  of 
Abigail  Hubbard  was  George  Hubbard  (born  in  Wakefield,  England, 
in  1594,  and  came  to  Hartford  from  Boston  1636),  was  an  early  set- 
tler of  Middletown,  and  near  neighbor  to  John  Hall,  her  husband's 
emigrant  ancestor.  They  were  both  settled  about  the  meeting  house 
yard  at  the  northern  end  of  Main  street,  and  both  were  prominent 
inhabitants,  as  may  be  seen  by  the  Middletown  Address  of  the  Rev. 
David  D.  Field,  pages  40,  146  and  149.  Their  descendants  became 
strangers  to  each  other.  The  lineal  descent  of  Abigail  from 
George  Hubbard  was  through  the  following  ancestors,  all  born  at 
Middletown,  viz.:  Nathaniel,  b.  Dec.  10,  1652;  Ebenezer,  b.  Oct. 
2,  1690  ;  Elijah,  b.  Jan.  16,  1737.  She  could  also  claim  her  de- 
scent from  the  Rev.  Samuel  Stow,  the  first  minister  of  Middletown, 
her  grandmother,  wife  of  Ebenezer  Hubbard,  having  been  his  grand- 
daughter. (See  Field's  Address,  48,  55,  and  JVetmore  Memorial, 
32-34,  502.)  Nathaniel  Hall  came  to  Bennington  with  his  father 
in  1779,  where  he  continued  to  reside  through  life.  Mr.  Hall  and 
his  wife  both  united  with  the  Baptist  church  about  1800,  of  which 
he  became  a  deacon  and  was  the  leader  in  devotional  singing.  He 
was  a  quiet,  unobtrusive  man  of  exemplary,  moral  and  religious 
character,  and  was  respected  and  beloved  by  his  neighbors  and  ac- 
quaintances. Rev.  Mr.  Jennings  says,  in  his  Bennington  Memo- 
rial, u  Dea.  Hall  was  spoken  of  as  4  an  Israelite  indeed,  in  whom  was 
no  guile.'  "  He  was  an  industrious  and  successful  farmer.  His 
wife  a  worthy   "helpmete."     Children  were  born  in  Bennington:

Parker,  of  Norfolk.  He  enlisted,  April,  1777,  for  three  years  as 
orderly  sergeant  in  Col.  Webb's  regiment,  but  was  soon  transferred 
to  the  commissary  department  and  appointed  Commissary  of  Issues, 
and  served  in  that  capacity  through  the  period  of  his  enlistment.  He 
removed  to  Cornwall,  Vt.,  in  1783  ;  was  the  first  treasurer  of  the 
town  of  Cornwall,  and  its  first  representative  in  the  legislature.  On 
the  organization  of  the  county  of  Addison,  he  was  appointed  one  of 
the  judges  of  the  County  Court,  which  he  held  during  his  life. 
Judge  Hall  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the  Congregational 
church  of  Cornwall,  and  he  and  Dea.  Bingham  were  elected  as  the 
first  two  deacons.  He  enjoyed  the  respect  and  confidence  of  his 
fellow  citizens  in  every  relation,  and  his  counsels  were  sought  and 
prized,  both  in  secular  and  ecclesiastical  affairs.      Children  were  :

Such  was  her  regard  for  her  first  husband  that  she  gave  his  name 
Hiland  to  her  first  son  by  Dea.  Hubbard,  and  the  name  has  become 
quite  common  among  her  Hubbard  descendants.  One  of  her  Hub-

for  the  second  time  by  the  death  of  Dea.  Hubbard,  July  10,  1819.

(Family  44.)  Hiland  Hall7,  Nathaniel6,  Thomas5,  Hiland4, 
Thomas3,  Samuel2,  John1  :  b.  in  Bennington,  Vt.,  July  20,  1795  ;«, 
m.,  Oct.  27,  1818,  at  Rockingham,  Vt.,  Dolly  rFuttle,  dau.  of  Henry 
and  Mary  (Tuttle)  Davis,  b.  March  2,  1792,  at  Rockingham,  and  d. 
at  Bennington,  Jan.  8,  1879.  Her  early  education,  though  some- 
what limited,  was  such  that  she  became  a  successful  teacher.  She 
was  remarkable  for  strength  of  mind  and  character,  and  was  possessed 
of  uncommon  personal  beauty.  In  company  she  always  drew  atten- 
tion for  her  queenly  appearance  and  high  social  qualifications.  She 
had  a  retentive  memory  which  was  especially  shown  in  her  later  years, 
by  the  repeating  of  much  she  had  learned  when  quite  young,  and  in 
many  cases  whole    pages   of  prose    or   verse  which   had   particularly

mpressed  her.  She  enjoyed  the  confidence  and  esteem  of  her, 
neighbors  and  friends,  and  richly  deserved  the  approbation  she  received 
for  her  successful  efforts  in  the  management  and  rearing  of  so  large 
a  family,  mostly  boys,  her  husband,  during  the  formation  period  of 
their  lives,  being  so  much  absent  upon  public  official  business.  She 
never  grew  old  in  her  feelings  but  ever  entered  into  the  sports  of  her 
children  with  a  zest  which  carried  them  with  her,  in  the  object  for 
which  she  considered  such  pastimes  should  be  indulged  in,  though  a 
dignity  was  always  maintained  in  the  most  familiar  recreations,  which 
tended  to  elevate.  The  wants  of  the  needy  received  her  kindly 
attention,  and  Dy  her  benevolence  and  uniform  efforts  she  did  much 
to  enhance  the  comfort  and  happiness  of  others.  For  nearly  fifty 
years  she  was  an  exemplary  member  of  the  Congregational  church  in 
Bennington,  and  died  confidently  trusting  in  the  Christian's  hope. 
Henry  Davis  was  b.  at  Groton,  Mass.,  Oct.  17,  1758  ;  m  ,  at  Little- 
ton, Feb.  12,  1782,  and  d.  Feb.  9,  1842.  He  was  a  farmer  and 
settled  at  Rockingham  and  d.  at  Grafton.  At  the  breaking  out  of 
the  Revolutionary  war,  when  under  seventeen  years  of  age,  he  enlisted 
in  Col.  Reed's  N.  H.  regiment,  and  was  in  the  battle  of  Bunker 
Hill  under  Col.  Stark  at  the  line  of  rail  fence  from  which  the  enemy 
were  repeatedly  repulsed  with  great  loss.  He  served  in  the  army 
over  three  years,  and  was  at  West  Point  at  the  time  of  Arnold's 
treasonable  attempts  to  surrender  it  to  the  enemy.  His  wife,  Mary 
Tuttle,  was  b.  at  Littleton,  Mass.,  Aug.  24,  1 755  ;  m.,  Feb.  1 2,  1 782, 
and  d.  in  Grafton,  Vt.,  April  12,  1849,  m  tne  94tn  year  of  her  age. 
The  boyhood  and  youth  of  Hiland  Hall  was  spent  on  his  father's 
farm  in  Bennington  His  early  education  was  principally  obtained 
in  the  common  schools  of  his  neighborhood.  He  studied  law  and 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  18 19,  and  established  himself  in  practice 
in  his  native  town,  which  he  represented  in  State  Assembly  in  1827. 
,  — *,In  1828  he  was  clerk  of  the  Supreme  and  County  Courts  for  Ben- 
nington County,  and  the  year  following  was  elected  State  Attorney 
for  the  county,  and  re-elected  the  two  succeeding  years.  In 
1833  he  was  elected  to  Congress  for  the  Southern  district  of  Ver 
mont,  and  represented  the  district  for  ten  years,  receiving  five  differ- 
ent elections,  his  congressional  service  ending  March,  1843,  he  having 
declined  being  a  candidate  for  another  term.  He  was  a  working 
rather  than  a  talking  member,  though  several  of  his  speeches  were 
published  and  circulated  by  his  political  associates.  He  was  noted 
for  his  active  work  in  committees,  for  his  thorough  examination  of 
claims  on   the  government,  and  while  chairman  of  the  committee  of

revolutionary  claims  he  acquired  special  distinction  by  his  successful 
exposure  of  the  unfounded  and  fraudulent  character  of  claims  for 
several  millions  of  dollars  from  the  State  of  Virginia,  thereby  putting 
an  end  to  their  further  allowance.  After  his  retirement  from  Con- 
gress he  was  for  three  years  State  Bank  Commissioner,  and  four  years 
judge  of  the  Supreme  Court.  In  1850  he  was  appointed  second 
comptroller  of  the  U.  S.  Treasury,  and  in  1851,  went  to  California, 
by  appointment  of  the  President  as  commissioner  to  adjust  land 
claims  in  that  newly  acquired  territory  under  the  provisions  of  the 
treaty  with  Mexico,  and  remained  in  California  till  the  spring  of 
1854.  While  in  Congress  he  acted  with  the  Whig  party,  and  he 
was  one  of  the  delegates  from  Vermont  to  the  Philadelphia  convention 
of  1856,  which  made  the  republican  party  national,  by  nominating  a 
candidate  for  the  presidency.  In  1 858  he  was  elected  govenor  of  Ver- 
mont, and  re-elected  the  succeeding  year,  when  he  retired  from 
public  life  ;  serving  only  afterwards  as  a  delegate  to  the  abortive 
11  Peace  Congress  ",  assembled  at  Washington  in  the  winter  of  1 861 
by  request  of  the  State  of  Virginia.  Gov.  Hall  has  always  taken  a 
deep  interest  in  American  history  and  especially  that  connected  with 
his  State.  He  was  for  several  years  president  of  the  Vermont  His- 
torical Society  ;  has  been  active  in  preparing  its  collections  for 
publication  and  in  otherwise  promoting  its  usefulness.  He  has  read 
several  historical  papers  at  the  meetings  of  the  society  which  have 
been  published,  and  has  been  a  contributor  to  the  Vermont  and  also 
to  the  New  York  Historical  Magazines,  to  the  Philadelphia  Historical 
Record  and  to  the  N.  E.  Historical  Genealogical  Register.  In 
i860  he  read  before  the  New  York  Historical  Society,  a  paper 
showing  "why  the  early  inhabitants  of  Vermont  disclaimed  the  juris- 
diction of  New  York  and  established  a  separate  government."  He 
is  the  author  of  the  early  history  of  Vermont,  a  work  of  500  pages 
published  in  1868,  by  J.  Munsell,  Albany,  in  which  the  controversy 
of  its  inhabitants  with  the  colonial  and  State  governments  of  New 
York,  and  their  valuable  revolutionary  services  are  very  fully  treated. 
The  honorary  degree  of  L.L.  D.  has  been  conferred  on  him  by  the 
University  of  Vermont.  He  is  a  member  and  vice-president  of  the 
N.  E.  Historical  Genealogical  Society,  honorary  member  of  the

72  Hall  Genealogy. 

HALLS  OF  FAIRFIELD,   CONN. 

The  emigrant  ancestor  was 

(Family  i.)  Francis  Hall1.  He  was  the  son  of  Gilbert  Hall, 
who  lived  in  the  county  of  Kent,  in  the  south-east  part  of  England; 
some  claim  that  he  lived  in  the  town  of  Rolvendue,  but  the  records 
of  that  place  have  been  searched  without  finding  the  name  of  either 
father  or  son. 

Francis  Hall  and  his  brother  William  came  from  Milford,  county 
of  Surrey,  in  the  ship  with  Rev.  Henry  Whitefield  and  his  party  of 
emigrants  from  Kent  and  Surrey. 

William  and  many  others  signed  a  plantation  covenant  during  their 
passage,  and  located  at  Guilford,  Conn.  (See  the  Halls  of  Guilford.) 
The  party  arrived  at  what  is  now  New  Haven  in  time  to  participate 
in  the  meeting  of  colonists  held  in  Newman's  barn  on  the  4th  of 
June,  1639.  In  1 640  Francis  Hall  joined  Mr.  Ludlow  in  the  enter- 
prize  of  planting  a  settlement  at  the  head  of  a  small  inlet  of  Long 
Island  Sound,  which  they  named  Fairfield.  Mr.  Hall  was  at  this 
period  thirty-two  years  of  age,  and  had  a  wife  Elizabeth,  and  two 
sons,  Isaac  and  Samuel,  who  were  born  in  England.  His  wife  died 
in  1662,  probably  in  Fairfield  ;  and  he  married,  Oct.  30,  1665, 
Dorothy,  the  widow  of  John  Blakeman,  and  the  daughter  of  Rev. 
Henry  Smith,  of  Stratford,  Conn.,  who  survived  him.  Mr.  Hall 
seems  to  have  been  a  man  of  some  property,  as  he  brought  over  with 
him  a  small  stock  of  hardware,  and  carpenter's  tools,  and  farming  im- 
plements for  trade.  Mr.  Hall  like  Mr.  Whitefield  and  many  other 
emigrants,  was  a  member  of  the  church  of  England,  but  on  his 
arrival  in  this  country,  as  was  usual,  he  adopted  the  Congregational 
method  of  worship. 

He  may  have  lived  in  New  London  for  a  short  time,  as  appears 
from  the  following  record  :  "  It  is  ordered  May  7,  1663,  that  Francis 
Hall  shall  have  two  poles  of  land  in  New  London,  by  the  water 
side,  if  it  be  there."  In'  1669  he  held  the  office  of  constable  in 
Stratford  ;  and  was  a  "  Deputa  "  from  Stratford  to  the  General  Court 
held  in  Hartford,  May  11,  1676.  It  is  also  recorded  of  him  as 
follows:   "May  II,  1671,  this   court  grants   Francis  Hall  a   release 


Halls  of  Fairfield.  73 

for  the  cattle  forfeited  to  the  county  by  judgment  of  the  County 
Court  of  Fayrefield,  Nov.,  1670,  save  only  30^.  he  hath  paid  on  that 
account."  It  appears  that  he  had  a  large  landed  property  in  Fair- 
field and  also  in  Stratford,  where  he  died  in  1690,  ae.  82  years.  His 
wife  Dorothy  survived  him,  and  also  the  following  named  children  : 
1.  Isaac,  b.  in  England  (Family  2).  2.  Samuel,  b.  in  England 
(Family  3).  3.  Elizabeth.  4.  Hannah,  m.,  July  14,  1675,  Joseph 
Blakeman  of  Stratford.      5.   Mary.      6.   Rebeccah.

father,  and  d.  in  Fairfield,  Conn.,  1714,  in  the  85th  year  of  his  age ; 

m.,  about  1660,  Lydia ,  who  survived    him       It  is  believed  that 

he  obtained  his  majority  in  New  Haven,  probably  while  there  at 
school.  He  studied-  medicine,  and  settled  in  Fairfield  where  he 
became  an  eminent  surgeon  and  physician.  He  rendered  service  as 
surgeon  in  the  Colonial  Militia  during  the  Indian  wars,  for  which 
he  received  a  grant  of  land  in  the  township  of  Fairfield  by  the 
General  Court.  He  had  previously  received  in  1660,  ajarge  estate 
from  his  father  in  Fairfield.  He  took  the  oath  of  fidelity  to  the 
Colonial  Government  in  1659.  He  was  probably  a  proprietor  of

He  became  a  physician  and  was  a  partner,  in  1680,  with  his  father, 
in  practice.  He  died  in  Reading,  Conn.,  Aug.,  1767,  perhaps  1757, 
in  the  92d  year  of  his  age.     Children  were  :

was   from   Durham,    Conn.,    and   afterwards   of  Newton.      Asbury 
Hal]  removed  with  his  father,  in  1808,  from   Newton  to  Whitehall, 
Washington  Co.,  N.  Y.,  where  he  purchased  a  farm  near  the  village. 
In  1813,  he  raised  a  company  of  "  Minute  Men  "  for  the  defence  of 
the  northern  frontier.      In  18 14,  he  went  as  captain  of  a  company  of 
artillery  to  resist  the  British   at  Plattsburgh.      In   1846,  he  removed 
to  Verona,  Oneida  Co.,  N.  Y.,  and  in  1848,  to  Aurelius,  Cayuga 
Co.,  N.  Y.,  where  he  died.      While  in  infancy  Asbury  was  baptized 
by  Bishop  Seabury  at  his  mother's  request,  who  was  a  devout  church 
woman,  and  she  instructed  him  in  the  commandments,  and  catechism, 
the  creed,  and  the  general  principles,  and  doctrines  of  the  Christian 
religion.      His  mind   being   thus   imbued   in  early   youth,  he  retained 
an    unfaltering   faith    in    them  to   the    end  of  his   life  ;  and   he  was 
always  regarded  by  his  acquaintances  as  an  honest   and  upright  man. 
He  obtained  a  very  good  English   education  in  the  common  schools 
previous  to  the  age  of  sixteen.      In  i8i5,he  united  with  his  neighors 
in  establishing  an   Union  Library   Association  which   furnished  sub- 
stantial reading  matter  to  occupy  their  attention  during  leisure  hours. 
In  after   years  he   considered    the  part    he  took    in   establishing   this 
library  as  one  of  the  most  useful  acts  of  his  life.      Mr.  Hall  was  often 
chosen   to   town    offices,  but   he  was   never  ambitious  in  that  way. 
The  sorrow   occasioned  by    the   death  of  his  wife,  added   to  the  in- 
firmities of  old  age,  made  him  often  express  the  wish  to  be  relieved 
from  bodily  suffering  and  join  her  in  the  other  world.      He  died  with 
an   unfaltering    hope  of  a    happy    immortality.      His   remains  were 
interred  beside  those  of  his  wife  in  the  Fort  Hill  cemetery,  at  Auburn, 
where  they  await  the  resurrection  of  the  dead.      Children  were  : 

1.  Benjamin  Franklin,  b.  July  25,  1814  (Family  16).  2.  Henry 
Clay,  b.  July  11,  1820  (Family  17).  3.  James  Asbury,  b.  Jan.  12,

Eighth  Generation. 
[Family  16.)  Benjamin  F.  Hall8,  Asbury7,  Zalmon6,  William5, 
Joshua4,  Isaac3,  Isaac2,  Francis1  :  b.  in  Whitehall,  N.  Y.,  July  23, 
1814;  m.,  1843,  ^by  Farnbam,  dau.  of  John  I.  Hagaman,  of  the 
county  of  Seneca,  N.  Y.  During  the  same  year  he  united  with  the 
Episcopal  church  in  Auburn,  where  he  continues  to  reside.  Mr. 
Hall  commenced  the  study  of  law  when  twenty  years  of  age,  in 
Judge  John  H.  Parker's  office  in  Whitehall,  having  had  good  ad- 
vantages at  school  previously.  In  1735,  he  was  received  into  the 
office  of  Seward  &  Beardsley,  at  Auburn,  N.  Y.,  and  the  next  year 
became  a  partner  in  the  firm.  In  the  same  year  he  received  the 
honorary  degree  of  A.  M.  from   Geneva  college.     Two  years  after-

wards  he  was  licensed  to  practice  in  the  highest  courts  of  the  State, 
and  in    1840,  in   the  United   States  Court.      Not  long  afterwards  he 
formed  a  partnership  with  John  P.  Hurlbert,  of  Auburn.     In  the  di- 
vision  of  professional  labor  between   the    partners,  Mr.   Hall   took 
upon    himself  the  equity  branch  of  it,  from    choice,  and  made   it  a 
specialty,  and   was   distinguished   for  his   industry.     In  1844,  he  re- 
presented his  county  in  the   Legislature,  where   he  introduced  a  bill 
and  ably  advocated    it,  to  submit    to  the  people  the    question  of  ap- 
pointing a  Constitutional  Convention  which  he  deemed  very  essential 
to  effect  a   modification   of  the   courts  and  to  disolve  the  Court  of 
Chancery.     To  carry  this  measure  was  his  chief  motive  for  permit- 
ing  himself  to   become   a  member   of  Legislature.      His   object  was 
achieved  in  the  convention  of  1846.      Mr.  Hall  wrote  and  published 
several  treatises  of  merit  on  the  inherited  and  statutory  titles  to  lands. 
In  1850,  he  was  appointed  by   Pres.  Taylor,  through  Maj.  Bliss'  in- 
fluence (who  was  Mr.  Hall's  old  school  mate  in  Whitehall),  to  super- 
sede Gen.    Lewis   Cass,  as   Resident   Minister  at    Rome.     And  the 
papers  were  made   in   readiness,  when    the   president   died,  and  they 
were  not  delivered   to  Mr.   Hall,  by    his   successor.      But   President 
Filmore  appointed    him  to   a  more   ardurous  if  not   more   honorable 
labor.      It   was  that   of  collecting  and    compiling  in    volumes   with 
proper  indices  the  official  decisions  of  the  several  attorney  generals 
of  the   United    States   from   its   foundation.     This   work   Mr.  Hall 
performed    to   the  satisfaction  of  all  concerned, -and    produced  the 
results  in  six  large  volumes.      Attorney  General  Crittenden  reports 
to  the  president  his  opinion  of  the  labor  of  Mr.  Hall  as  follows,  "  Sir  : 
I  have   carefully   examined    the  six    vols,  prepared    for   the  press  by 
your  direction,  by  my  assistant,  Mr.  Hall,  of  New  York.     As  many 
of  the  decisions  rescued  by  him  from  the  ravages  of  time  and  moths, 
and  put  into    form  were   only  brief  endorsements   by  their  authors. 
Mr.    Hall    has    been    obliged    many     times    in    the    course    of    his 
labors  to   put   his    pen   into  dead    men's    hands  in    order    to    indict 
traditions    worth    preserving.       He    found    it    necessary    not     only 
to    supply    language    when    it    was     wanting,    but    to    frame    the 
decisions  of  Randolph,   Bradford,  Lee,  Lincoln,  and   Breckenridge, 
almost,    if   not    entirely  anew.      He    has    made  the  text  of  all  the 
decisions  intelligible    and    clear,  and    prefaced    each    with    a    valu- 
able synopsis,    which    not    only    required    care   and    attention,    but 
also  thought  and  a  thorough  "understanding  of  the  points  decided.     I 
have  only  to  add   that  in  my  opinion  the  work  has   been  executed 
remarkably  well.     No  one  but  a  lawyer  and  scholar  accustomed  to

digest  in  his  mind  the  details  of  administrative  history,  and  of  public 
questions  and  cases  could  have  executed  it  at  all."  Mr.  Seward  also 
said  in  the  Senate,  "  In  the  entire  range  of  my  personal  acquaintance  I 
know  of  no  other  man  who  could  have  performed  that  service  for 
government  as  he  has  performed  it.  He  has  wrought  a  marvel.  He  has 
revived  men  and  made  them  speak.  He  has  reduced  the  misty  tradi- 
tions of  administration  to  comprehensible  words.  He  deserves  the 
gratitude  of  the  officials  in  charge  of  every  department  of  the  govern- 
ment." After  Mr.  Hall's  return  to  Auburn  he  was  elected  its  mayor  ; 
became  a  director  of  the  Southern  Central  Railroad  Co. ;  vestryman  in 
St.  Peter's  church,  Auburn  ;  trustee  of  a  beautiful  rural  cemetery  pro- 
jected by  himself  on  the  site  of  the  noted  cabin  of  the  famous  Indian 
Sachem  Logan,  on  an  eminence  in  the  suburbs  of  Auburn  called 
Fort  Hill.  He  wrote  a  law  book  on  the"Land  Laws  of  the  Western 
States,  and  another  on  the  Jurisprudence  of  Insanity  ;  and  two  histories, 
one,  the  History  of  the  Colonization  ot  British  America,  and  the  other, 
the  History  of  the  Republican  Party  in  the  United  States,  which  com- 
pleted the  number  of  twelve  books,  of  which  he  was  the  author. 
He  was  also  the  editor  of  the  Daily  Republicau  "Journal,  in  Auburn, 
styled  "  The  Union "  during  two  years  preceding  the  election  of 
President  Lincoln.  The  next  and  most  prominent  incident  in  Mr. 
Hall's  life  was  his  appointment  by  President  Lincoln  in  the  spring  of 
1861  to  the  office  of  chief  justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Colorado. 
Colorado  had  been  erected  into  a  territory  during  the  winter  of  1861, 
through  the  influence  of  Stephen  A.  Douglass,  to  prevent  it  from 
falling  into  the  hands  of  the  confederacy,  in  case  of  civil  war,  which 
was  expected.  Col.  William  Gilpin  of  the  army  was  appointed 
governor  of  the  new  territory,  and  was  requested  to  proceed  with 
Judge  Hall  to  the  place  assigned  them  without  delay;  they  went  in 
April ;  the  United  States  Fort  Garland  was  under  the  command  of 
Maj.  Sibley,  afterwards  Gen.  Sibley  of  the  rebel  army,  and  as  soon 
as  Gov.  Gilpin  came  into  the  territory,  Maj.  Sibley  passed  out  of  it 
into  Texas,  with  as  many  officers  and  soldiers  as  he  could  persuade 
to  go  with  him.  He  recruited  in  Texas  and  was  in  command  of  an 
army  of  about  800  men.  He  sent  recruiting  officers  also  into 
Colorado,  who  secretly,  mostly  in  the  night,  obtained  many  enlist- 
ments. Gov.  Gilpin  being  aware  of  their  movements  ordered  his 
marshal  in  Denver  to  construct  a  strong  prison  in  that  city,  and  then 
obtain  a  posse  of  loyal  men  and  imprison  the  recruiting  officer  and  as 
many  of  his  men  as  he  could  find  in  arms.  The  marshal  succeeded 
in  capturing  and  imprisoning  one  of  rhe  recruiting  officers,  Capt.  Joel

McKee  and  fifty  of  his  men  in  one  night.     This  raised  a  great  com- 
motion among  the  secession   sympathizing  population  which  were 
very  numerous  in  the  city  and  in  the  territory.     And  they  formed  a 
plan  to  apply  to  Judge  Hall  who  was  holding  a  court  in  the  city  for 
a  habeas  corpus,  not  doubting  that  it  must  be  granted  since  Congress 
had  not  yet  suspended  that  right  of  the  citizens,  and   as  soon  as  the 
prison  door  was  open  to  bring  any  one  of  the  men  before  the  court  the 
outside  friends  would  avail  themselves  of   this   opportunity  to   rush 
upon  the  sheriff  and  release  all  the  prisoners.      But   Judge  Hall  was 
adequate   to  the  occasion  ;  and  decided   that   as   the  history  of  the 
"  Habeas  corpus  act  "   showed  that  it  was  intended  to  leave  its  sus- 
pension to  the  judiciary,  as   in   the  application  for  any  other  suit   at 
law,   in  case  the   judge  should  deem  it    necessary,  as   in  the  case  of 
rebellion  or  invasion,  he  therefore  declined  to  grant  a  writ  of  habeas 
corpus  for   Joel    McKee,    this  was   Oct.    14,1861.     This   position 
which   Judge  Hall   took  was   a  surprise   to  both  friend   and  foe,  but 
•it  saved   the  territory  of  Colorado   to   the  Union,  and   the   city  of 
Denver  from  destruction.     This  position  of  Judge  Hall  was  vindicated 
at  the  time  in  a  book  written  for  that  purpose   by  Horace  Binney  of 
Philadelphia.       The   day   Judge    Hall   retired    from    the  bench   the 
lawyers  held  a  meeting  in  his  court  room,  and  framed  an  address  of 
thanks,  containing  the  following  passages,  and  had  it  recorded  in  the 
minutes  of  the  court.    "  The  results  of  your  administration  of  the  law 
here  for  nearly  four  years  fully  vindicate  your  policy  and  judgment. 
It  devolved  upon  you  when  you  came  here  to  lay  the  foundation  of 
a  future  civilization  and  to  erect  upon  it  the  edifice  of  a  systematic 
and  enlightened  judiciary.     That   you  have  succeeded   in  this   to  a 
remarkable  extent,  the  records  of  this  court  attest.     You  leave  behind 
you  the  evidence  of  unusual  foresight,  untiring  industry,  great  legal 
ability,  purity  of  intention  and  of  an  inflexible  purpose  to  be  faithful  to 
your  trust."      And  the  Denver  Commonwealth  said  :   "  Chief  Justice 
Hall  carries  with  him  the  best  wishes  of  the  best  portion  of  this  com-, 
munity  to  his  new  field  of  labor.      A  few  of  the  lawyers  and  specu- 
lators complained  of  some  of  his  early  decisions  before  they  under- 
stood  his  judicial  policy.      But   ever   since  they  comprehended  his 
ideas  in  respect  to  our  lands  they  have  approved  it.     We  think  we 
are  warranted  in  stating  that  at  no  period  of  his  administration  here 
has  there  been  a  single  voice  lifted  up  against  his  legal  ability,  patience, 
patriotism  and  purity.      He  has  been  an  industrious,  patient,  politic, 
able  and  upright  judge.      By  those  whose  ante-territorial  ranche  and 
mining  titles  have  been    upheld  and   confirmed   by  his  decisions  as

against  the  rapacity  of  jumpers  and  speculators  he  will  long  be  regarded 
as  a  public  benefactor.  In  the  early  part  of  the  yeai  1864,  Judge 
Hall  was  appointed  by  President  Lincoln,  consul  to  Valparaiso,  when 
he  resigned  his  office  of  chief  justice  in  the  expectation  of  going  there. 
But  before  he  was  able  to  find  a  vessel  or  steamer  which  was  going 
down  to  that  distant  Pacific  port  in  the  face  of  the  pirates  then 
sweeping  the  southern  seas,  President  Lincoln  was  assassinated  and 
Secretary  Seward  and  his  son  Frederick,  his  assistant,  nearly  killed, 
and  instead  of  going  to  that  post  of  duty  at  all,  he,  at  the  request  of 
the  wounded  sesretary,  went  into  the  State  department  a  while  to 
superintend  the  bureau  having  charge  of  our  commercial  relations. 
Since  1868,  Judge  Hall  has  been  a  private  citizen  of  Auburn,  enjoy- 
ing his  books  and  his  family.  Judge  Hall  has  very  kindly  furnished 
nearly  all  of  the  material  for  this  line  of  Halls,  and  other  valuable 
materials  for  other  portions  of  this  book.  His  children  were  born  in

[From  Geo.  E.  Hall,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio.] 

It  appears  from  the  Genealogical  Dictionary  of  the  Pioneers  of 
New  England,  that  Francis  Hall,  the  emigrant,  and  his  son  Samuel 
took  the   oath  of  fidelity    in  New    Haven  in    1657,  and  that  his  son

Isaac  took  the  same  oath  there  in  1659.  He  lived  both  before 
and  afterwards  in  Stratford,  and  how  much  time  he  lived  in  New 
Haven  is  uncertain,  perhaps  it  is  not  certain  that  he  ever  lived  in 
Fairfield,  although  he  had  large  estates  in  that  town. 

His  son  Dr.  Isaac  Hall  received,  in  1697,  a  grant  of  150  acres  of 
land,  to  be  located  in  Fairfield,  on  account  of  services  in  the  war  ; 
this  grant  was  located  by  his  sons  after  his  decease,  at  a  place  called 
Chestnut  ridge,  near  the  upper  end  of  Fairfield  township,  and  near 
the  road  to  Danbury.  Isaac  settled  upon  his  share  where  he  died. 
Francis  and  John  sold  out  to  Moses  Knapp,  in  1722,  who  settled 
upon  it. 

Children  of  Dr.  Isaac,  to  wbom  he  gives  by  will  in  17 14,  were  :

Isaac.  He  resided  in  Stratford,  where  his  name  is  on  the  property 
record  from  1674  to  1687  ;   he  probably  lived  also  for  some  time  in 

Fairfield  ;  he  died  1694,  and  gave  by  will  to  his   widow  ,  and 

sons  Samuel  and  Isaac. 

Samuel3,  Samuel2,  Francis1,  was  of  Stratford  in  1755,  and  of 
Fairfield  1764,  where  he  died  ;  gave  by  will  to  his  widow  Rebecca,

and  Abbott.  David  of  Fairfield  deeded  to  his  brother  Abbott  of 
Stratford  in  1752;  had  a  daughter  baptized  1 760,  Maritia.  Ebenezer 
son  of  Samuel,   died    Jan.,    1799,  gave    to  children    Seth,  Esthefyv^

HALLS    OF     WALLINGFORD,   CONN. 

[Are  mostly  compiled  from  the  History    of  Wallingford.] 

The  emigrant  was 

[Family  1.)  John  Hall1:  b.  about  1605  ;  d.  in  the  early  part  of 
1676,  ae.  71  years  ;  he  made  an  oral  will;  m.  Jean  or  Jane  Woolen. 
She  had  lived  with  William  Wilkes  in  Boston,  and  probably  came 
over  with  him,  as  he  paid  her  fare  and  gave  her  £3  a  year  for  her 
services  in  his  family  for  five  years,  also  promised  her  £10  as  a  gift 
when  she  shouLl  marry  ;  but  this  he  did  not  do,  and  Mr.  Hall  ob- 
tained it  from  his  estate  by  litigation,  an  account  of  which  is  found 
on  the  records  of  New  Haven,  in  which  she  is  called  good  wife 
Hall.  Mr.  Wilkes  was  in  Boston  in  1633,  and  removed  with 
his  family  to  New  Haven  with  the  first  settlers  in  1639.  John 
Hall  may  also  have  come  from  Boston.  His  autograph  signature  is 
found  on  the  Colonial  Records  of  New  Haven  (page  4)  in  1639. 
His  name  appears  often  on  those  records,  mostly  in  reference  to  sev- 
eral pieces  of  land.  He  was  freed  from  training  in  1665,  being  then 
in  his  60th  year  of  age.  Three  or  four  of  his  sons  joined  a  com- 
pany and  settled  Wallingford  in  1670.  And  the  father  went  with 
them  at  that  time  or  soon  after.  He  was  selectman  in  1675.  Few 
families  have  been  more  respectable  than  the  descendants  of  John 
and  Jean  (Woolen)  Hall.  Her  connections  in  England  have  a  coat 
of  arms.     The  names  of  their  children  were  : 

I.  John,  baptised  August  9,  1646?  (Family  2).  2.  Sarah,  bap- 
tised August  9,  1646  ;  m.,  December,  1664,  Wingle  Johnson. 
3.  Richard,  b.  July  11,  1645  (Family  3).  4.  Samuel,  b.  May  21, 
1646  (Family  4).  5.  Daniel,  b.  about  1647  or  8  (Family  5).  6. 
Thomas,  b.  March  25,  1649  (Family  6).  7.  Jonathan,  b.  April  5, 
1651    (Family  7).     8.   David,  b.  March  17,  1852  (Family  8). 

Among  the  original  proprietors  of  Wallingford  were  John  Hall, 
David  Hall  and  Doctor  Hall.  This  Doctor  Hall  was  probably  Isaac 
the  son  of  Francis  Hall,  of  Fairfield,  who  resided  some  time  in  New 
Haven,  but  did  not  settle  in  Wallingford. 

Among  those  who  signed  the  covenant  of  the  first  planters,  Nov.

31,  1669,  and  then  proceeded  to  locate  a  place  for  the  village,  were 
Thomas  Hall,  Samuel  Hall  and  John  Hall. 

After  the  village  was  settled  certain  wood  and  meadow  lands  were 
assigned  to  each  of  the  36  families,  among  whom  were  those  of 
Samuel  Hall,  John  Hall  and  Thomas  Hall. 

At  a  meeting  held  Feb.  15;  1675,  a  committee  was  appointed  to 
secure  the  organization  of  a  church.  Among  the  names  were  John 
Hall,  Sen  ,  and  John  Hall,  Jr. 

The  town  of  Wallingford  appointed,  April  4,  1689,  a  committee 
of  five  to  make  out  a  call  upon  Rev.  Mr.  Whittelsey  to  come  and 
settle  as  pastor,  among  the  names  were  John  Hall,  Sen.,  Samuel 
Hall  and  John  Hall.  The  committee  offer  to  purchase  an  acre  and 
a  half  of  Deac.  John  Hall's  home  lot  for  Mr  Whittelsey  to 
build  upon. 

In  1689  the  head  of  the  plain,  now  Meriden,  was  laid  out  for  a 
village  80  rods  long,  and  building  lots  staked  out  ;  these  lots  were 
drawn  by  raffle,  one  by  each  planter  in  Wallingford  ;  among  the 
names  were  those  of  Thomas  Hall,  Samuel  Hall,  John  Hall,  Sen., 
and  David  Hall. 

In  1679  the  town  of  Wallingford  granted  to  David  Hall,  Thomas 
Hall  and  others,  three  acres  each,  lying  on  the  east  side  of  the 
meadow  and  swamp,  called  Dog's  Misery.  In  1707  the  town  chose 
David  Hall  and  two  others  a  committee  to  see  that  the  misery  high- 
way was  not  pinched  of  the  20  rods  in  any  place,  from  the  town  to 
misery. 

In  1696,  a  protest  was  signed  disapproving  of  making  expense  for 
the  town  in  settling  a  dispute  between  Yale  and  Royce  about  a 
watering  place,  among  the  signors  were  Jonn  Hall,  Jr.,  David  Hall, 
Thomas  Hall,  Sen.  ;  but  lieutenant,  Samuel  Hall,  dissented.

at  the  house  of  Isaac  Hall  in  Wallingford,  Vt.,  from  \vhith  he  took  the  following  outline. 
Text,  21  :   iv  : 

1.  There  shall  be  no  pain  in  heaven  arising  from  uneasy  reflections,  as  remorse  of  con 
science,  or  from  any  of  those  things  which  tease  the  mind  in  this  life. 

2.  No  pain  in  heaven  arising  from  fear  of  future  evil. 

3.  No  pain  from  fear  of  losing  happiness  or  pleasure    in   the  presence  of  the  Redeemer 

4.  No  pain  arising  from   bodily  disorders. 

5.  There  will  be  no  cause  of  pain,  as  there  will  be  no  sin,  and  no  curse. 

6.  There  will  be  no  need  of  pain  to  embitter  sin,  to  mortify  remaining  corruption  ;  to 
brighten  graces;  to  convince  of  the  vanity  of  earthly  pleasures,  and  enjoyments  ;  to  remind 
of  mortality  ;   and  to  reconcile  us  to  death. 

Reflections. 

1.  Advantages  of  saints  in  heaven  over  those  on  earth. 

2.  This  should  make  us  patient  under  tiials,  while  looking  for  and  expecting  the  happy 
exchange. 

3.  The  importance  of  being  of  that  happy  number,  contrast  the  two  states  beyond  this 
world, 

4.  The  subject  teaches  to  moderate  our  grief  at  the  loss  of  Christian  friends;  and  make 
it  our  concern  to  be  ready  to  follow  them.

ae.  66  ;  married  and  had  children,  none  of  which  survived  him. 
His  widow  wrote  his  very  pathetic  epitaph,  as  found  on  the  origrna\ 
tablet  covering  his  grave.  He  graduated  at  Yale  1747  ;  studied 
medicine;  and  in  1752  located  himself  at  Midway  or  Saulisbury, 
Georgia.  Having  earnestly  and  zealously  espoused  the  cause  of  his 
country  in  the  struggle  with  the  mother  country  during  the  Revolu- 
tion, his  efforts  contributed  much  to  induce  the  people  of  Georgia  to 
join  the  confederacy.      In  May,  1775,  and  at  four  succeeding  annual

elections,  Dr.  Hall  was  chosen  as  Representative  to  Congress  from 
Georgia.  He  was  one  of  the  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence, which  was  passed  by  Congress  and  signed  by  its  members 
July  4,  1776.  When  the  British  had  possession  of  Georgia  they 
confiscated  all  of  Dr.  Hall's  property  ;  and  after  their  expulsion  he 
was  elected  Governor  of  the  State  in  1783.  The  following  is  the 
inscription  engraved  upon  the  white  marble  slab  placed  over  the 
grave  of  Lyman  Hall : 

"  Beneath  this  stone  rest*  the    remains  of  the 
Hon.  Lyman   Hall, 
Formerly  Governor   of  this  State,  who  departed  this  life  the  19th  of  October,  1790,  in  the 
67th  year  of  his  age. 

In  the  cause  of  America  he  was  uniformly  a  patriot. 

In  the  incumbent  duties  of  a  husband  and  a  father  he  acquitted  himself  with  affection 
and  tenderneis. 

But,  reader,  above  all,  know,  from  this  inscription,  that  he  left  this  probationary  scene 
as  a  true  christian  and  an  honest  man. 

To  those  so  mourned  in  death,  so  loved  in  life, 
The  childless  parent,  and  the  widowed  wife, 
With  tears  inscribes  this  monumental  stone, 
That  holds  his  ashes   and  expects  her  own." 

This  original  tablet  was  transferred  from  Georgia  to  Wallingford, 
Conn.,  and  the  immense  gathering  of  the  people  from  the  neighbor- 
ing towns,  July  5,  1858,  at  the  ceremonies  at  its  reception,  showed 
the  deep  interest  which  was  felt  in  the  occasion. 

Mr.  Yeatman,  of  New  Haven,  the  orator  of  the  day,  whose  dis- 
course was  compact  and  brilliant,  took  occasion  to  give  some 
details  of  the  life  and  character  of  Mr.  Hall,  and  of  his  service  to 
his  country  at  a  period  when  the  possibility  of  her  national  indepen- 
dence was  surrounded  with  doubts  and  difficulties  which  required 
unwearying  effort  and  perseverance  to  overcome. 

Gov.  Holley  also  gave  an  address  in  the  grave-yard  ;  in  the  center 
of  which  had  been  prepared  a  reception  to  place  the  tablet  upon, 
described  as  follows  : 

Upon  a   mound  of  earth,  handsomely  turfed,  is  a   large,  flat  free- 
stone, which   is  nearly   nine  feet   long,  by  six   feet   wide  ;   upon  this 
rests  a  very    large   block   of  freestone,  nearly   three  feet    high,  with, 
rounded    corners   and   handsome  mouldings,   on   the   fourth   side  of 
which  is  this  inscription  :

b.  Nov.  28,  1793,  dau.  of  Andrew    Hall,  (Family  124)   and    widow 
of  Merrick  Cook.      Aimer  Hall  engaged  for  several  years  in  the  busi- 
ness of  peddling  tin  ware  and  Yankee    notions    in    Penn.,    Va.    and 
Tenn.;   afterwards  he  opened  a    store    in    Wallingford,    selling    dry 
goods  and  groceries  ;   and  in  1827    commenced    the    manufacture    of 
britannia  spoons.      In  1834  he    went    into    partnership    with    Walter 
Martin  for  the  purpose  of  manufacturing    wooden  screws,    and    lost 
$9,000,  all  he  had.      This  disheartened  him  for  some  time,    when    a 
friend  in  New  York  gave  him  seven  pounds  of  German   silver    and 
told  him  to  begin  life  again,  which  he  did  in  1857,  forming  a  partner- 
ship with  William   Elton.      They  were  the  first  successful  manufac- 
turers of  German  silver  ware  in  this  country.      He  was    one    of  the 
original  members  of  the  Baptist  church    in    Wallingford,    1817,   and 
soon  after  was  chosen  one  of  its  deacons,  and    was   an    earnest    and 
gifted  man  in  this  offiee,  and  a  chief  pillar  in  the  church,  and  a   man 
universally  respected.      He  was  quiet  and   unassuming,  and    was    in. 
clined  to  put  the  best  construction  upon  the  acts  of  others,  and    lost 
by  it  in  business.      There  is  a  good  likeness  and  a  biographical  sketch 
of  him  in  the  History  of  Wallingford.      He  had  seven    children,    of 
whom  two  were  living  in  1870,  viz.:   Aimer  I.  and  Jane  A.,  wife  of 
D.  W.  Fields,  of  Wallingford.

her  advice  and  assistance  he  pursued  the  study  of  the  higher  mathe- 
mathics.  At  the  age  of  25  he  became  assistant  of  the  Harvard  Ob- 
servatory, Mass.,  and  in  1816  was  appointed  assistant  in  the  Naval 
Observatory  at  Washington,  D.  C.  In  1863  he  was  promoted  to  a 
professorship  in  the  same  observatory,  which  he  still  holds  (1881). 
On  the  night  of  Aug.  11,  1877,  he  discovered  one  of  the  satelites 
of  Mars,  and  on  the  night  of  the  17th  he  discovered  the  other — the 
inner  one.  This  happy  discovery  will  connect  the  name  of  Prof. 
Asaph  Hall  with  the  moons  of  Mars  as  long  as  the  science  of  as- 
tronomy exists.  In  1879  he  received  the  honorary  degree  of  A.  M. 
from  Harvard  University,  and  that  of  LL.D.  from  Yale  College 
and  from  Cambridge  University,  England.

in ,  he  appointed  his  partner,  Nathan  K.   Hall,  to  the  office  of 

post  master  general  ;  when  Fillmore  was  about  to  retire  from  his 
office  knowing  the  fitness  of  Mr.  Hall  for  the  judicial  office  he 
nominated  him  for  District  Judge  of  the  United  States  Court  in 
Western  New  York,  which  the  Senate  confirmed.  In  this  office 
Mr.  Hall  performed  an  immense  amount  of  labor  satisfactorilv  until 
his  death.  The  size  of  the  district  has  since  been  greatly  diminished  ; 
he  was  one  of  the  most  able  and  amiable  of  men,  which  with  a 
manly  presence  rendered  him  evidently  one  of  nature's  noblemen.

[The  following  notes  are  taken  from  the  History  of  Wallingford.] 

Dec.  1766,  a  committee  was  appointed  by  the  First  Society  of 
Wallingford,  consisting  of  Benjamin  Hall,  2d,  Elihu  Hall,  Peter

HALLS  OF    PORTSMOUTH,   R.  I. 

The  emigrant  ancestor  was 

(Family  1.)  William  Hall1.  On  the  8th  day  of  the  8th  month 
in  1638,  the  name  of  William  Hall  was  one  of  a  list  of  59  persons 
admitt-ed  inhabitants  of  an  island  on  the  coast  of  Rhode  Island,  now 
called  Aqueedunk.  In  1639  William  Hall  was  an  inhabitant  of  New- 
port, R.  I.  And  on  the  27th  day  of  the  5th  month,  in  1644,  a  parcel  of 
land  in  Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  was  granted  to  William  Hall  by  the 
towr).  His  name  was  on  the  list  of  freemen  of  Portsmouth  in  1655. 
William  Hall  sold,  on  the  6th  day  af  the  7th  month,  1654,  to  Rich- 
ard Sisson,  of  Portsmouth,  1-300  of  an  island  called  Canonocut 
and  1-300  of  Dutch  Island.  William  Hall  was  commissioner  to 
General  Court  from  Portsmouth  in  1654,  56,  60  and  63.  And  he 
was  Deputy  from  Portsmouth  to  General  Assembly  in  1665,  66,  67, 
68,  72  and  73.  In  1673  he  was  appointed  on  a  committee  for  the 
purpose  of  treating  with  the  Indians  about  drunkenness,  and  to  seri- 
ously council  them,  and  agree  of  some  way  to  prevent  extreme  ex- 
cess of  Indian  drunkenness.  Five  chiefs  are  named,  among  whom 
is  the  name  of  the  famous  Philip  of  Mount  Hope,  called  King 
Philip,  with  whom  the  committee  should  treat. 

There  may  be  same  foundation  for  the  following  statement  by  the 
late  James  Usher,  genealogist  of  9  Murray  street,  New  York. 
He  says  ,  tk  We  have  the  transatlantic  trace  of  William  Hall,  cler- 
gyman. He  is  believed  to  be  the  same  William  Hall  who  was  a 
writer  in  London,  and  continued  the  '  Fab  you  Chronical'  began  by 
Sir  Thomas  More.  And  there  is  reason  to  believe  a  connection 
existed  between  William  Hall  and  the  Lord  Chancelor's  family. 
(See  an  article  in  an  early  number  of  Harper's  Magazine,  by  Mrs. 
Hall,  of  Chelsea  Church,  England.)  William  Hall,  of  London,  went 
out  of  record  there  in  1638,  the  same  year  that  William  Hall  began 
record  in  Portsmouth.  Thomas  Clement,  a  connection  of  the 
Mores,  was  an  original  founder  of  Portsmouth,  R.  I.,  and  was  a 
neighbor  of  William  Hall,  and  the  administrator  of  his  estate," 

Mr.  Usher  emblazoned  a  coat  of  arms  which  he  knew  or  supposed 
to  belong  to  William  Hall,  for  Theo.  C.  Hall,  of  174  Lexington 
avenue,  New  York,  who  is  a  descendant  of  William  Hall,  of  Ports-

mouth.        It    consists    of  three    Talbot's    heads,    Chivron    in  black 
ground,  and  the  crest  a  Griffin's  head,  az. 

Mrs.  Mary  Clapp,  of  East  Greenwich,  R.  I.,  a  lady  of  over  80 
years  of  age,  and  a  descendant  of  William  Hall,  informs  me  of  a 
tradition  in  the  family  that  "  William  Hall  was  one  of  five  brothers 
who  came  over,  one  of  whom  settled  at  Exter,  R.  I." 

William  Hall  made  his  will  on  the  20th  day  of  the  nth  month* 
1673,  which  was  probated  on  the  19th  day  of  the  2d  month  in  1676. 
No  mention  is  made  in  it  of  Thomas  Clement.  But  he  says  "  I  do 
ordain,  substitute  and  appoint  my  truly  and  well  beloved  friend  and 
yoke  fellow,  Mary,  my  wife,  to  be  my  whole  and  sole  executrix,  into 
whose  hands  and  possession  I  do  give  and  bequeath  my  whole  estate 
during  her  life,  and,  considering  the  weakness  of  my  said  wife,  I  do 
appoint  my  two  younger  sons,  viz.:  William  and  Benjamin,  to  be 
assistants  to  their  mother  in  the  managing  of  whatever  business  she 
shall  have  need  of  during  her  life;  and  after  her  decease,  I  do  hereby 
give  power  to  my  above  named  two  sons  to  see  my  will  performed 
as  following,  that  is  to  say  :  after  the  decease  or  the  last  of  us, 
either  me  or  my  wife,  my  will  is  that  my  son  Zurill  Hall  shall  have 
and  enjoy  that  twenty  acres  of  land  whereon  his  dwelling  house  now 
stands.  Next,  my  mind  and  will  is  that  my  son  Benjamin  Hall  shall 
have  my  new  dwelling  house  and  land  thereto  adjoining  ;  and,  further, 
my  will  is  that  my  three  sons,  Zurill,  William  and  Benjamin,  shall 
have  all  my  land  in  the  Narragansett  which  I  purchased  of  Thomas 
Lawton,  to  be  equally  divided  between  them.  And,  further,  I  do 
give  and  bequeath  unto  my  son  Benjamin  my  cart  horse,  with  my 
cart  and  plow,  and  the  tackling  thereto  belonging  ;  and  as  for  the  re- 
mainder of  my  estate,  together  with  that  which  I  have  lent  to  my  son 
William,  shall  be  divided  into  four  equal  parts,  viz.:  one-fourth 
thereof  to  my  son  William  ;  one-fourth  part  to  my  daugh- 
ter Elizabeth  ;  one-fourth  part  to  my  daughter  Rebeecka,  and  the 
other  fourth  part  to  my  daughter  Deliverance."  Thus  we  gather 
the  names  af  the  children  of  William  Hall: 

1.  Zurill  (Family  2).  2.  William  (Family  3).  3.  Benjamin 
(Family  4).     4.  Elizabeth.      5.  Rebecka.     6.  Deliverance.

HALLS    OF    DOVER,    N.   H. 

[Compiled  mostly  from  newspaper  articles  furnished  by  Rev.  Dr.  Quint.] 

The  emigrant  ancestor  was 

[Family  I.)  John  Hall1:  b.  in  England,  1617.  Tradition  says 
he  was  brother  to  Ralph  Hall,  of  Exter,  and  that  another  brother 
lived  near  Boston.  John  Hall  and  his  wife,  Elizabeth,  appear  first 
on  the  church  records  of  Charlestown,  Mass.,  at  the  baptism  of 
their  son  John  in  1645,  and  he  and  his  family  have  been  mistaken 
for  that  John  Hall  and  his  family  who  removed  from  Charlestown  to 
Barnstable  in  1640.  This  John  Hall  removed  from  Charlestown  to 
Dover,  N.  H.,  in  1648  or  9,  as  his  name  appears  on  the  tax  list  of 
Dover  dated  March  18,  1648-9,  and  was  continued  until  1677,  after 
which  the  lists  were  destroyed.  His  name  appears  on  the  records 
often  as  buying  or  receiving  grants  of  land.  In  1677  Deacon  Hall 
received  a  lot  of  20  acres  on  the  west  side  of  Back  river,  the  same 
which  was  laid  out  to  George  Webb  in  1642,  as  his  successor,  John 
Hall,  was  the  earliest  deacon  of  the  first  church  of  Dover,  as  early 
as  1655.  He  was  a  deacon,  perhaps,  in  the  days  of  good  Parson 
Maud.  Certainly  through  the  ministries  of  Reyner  and  into  that  of 
Parson  Pike.  He  was  lot  layer  as  early  as  1657  and  as  late  as 
1674.  He  was  occasionally  "commissioner  to  end  small  causes," 
and  was  selectman  in  1660.  He  was  grand  juror  in  1663,  6  and  8. 
He  was  one  of  a  committee  of  three  to  call  the  selectmen  to  ac- 
count, 1657  and  1666.  In  1658,  9  he  was  one  of  three  to  lay  out 
the  town  bounds  between  Lamprey  and  Newichawannock  Rivers, 
and  to  run  the  northern  boundary.  In  1663  he  and  Lieut.  Ralph  Hall 
were  to  lay  out  a  highway  from  Lamprey  River  to  the  water  side. 
He  was  for  a  series  of  years  "  clerk  of  ye  writs"  for  the  court. 
His  signatures  as  such  is  found  in  1663,  68,  69  and  71.  He  was 
chosen  town  clerk  1670.  His  signature  appears  as  such  in  1675 
and  1679.  He  had  the  town  records  in  custody  in  1665,  6.  The 
date  of  his  birth  or  death  is  not  given.  A  deposition  makes  him 
born  about  1617.  In  Feb.  1,  1685,  6,  being  in  perfect  health  but 
aged,  he  gives  to  his  son  Ralph  half  of  his  house  and  land,  &c,  the 
other  half  also  to  go  to  Ralph  after  his  death.  This  paper  was 
proved  May  4,  1692,  and  recorded  Feb.  1694,  5.     It  would   appear 


Halls  of  Dover.  153 

that  he  died  before  these  dates,  that  is  before  May  4,  1692,  or  at 
least  before  Feb.  16,  1694,  5.  John  Hall  lived  on  Dover  Neck  in 
1652,  next  to  the  meeting  house  lot  on  the  south-westerly  side.  This 
lot  appears  to  have  reached  the  river  and  embraced  a  large  spring, 
still  flowing,  called  "  Hall's  spring,"  and  on  the  higher  land  near  it 
was  found,  in  1852,  the  relics  of  an  ancient  cellar.  He  may  have 
been  called  John  Hall,  Jr.,  as  there  were  two  others  living  in  the 
town  by  the  same  name.    Children  were  : 

1.  John,  bapt.,  1645,  in  Charlestown,  Mass.  (Family  2).  2. 
Elizabeth,  bapt.,  1647,  Charlestown  ;  d.  in  infancy.  3.  Elizabeth, 
bapt.,  1648,  Charlestown  ;  d.  in  infancy.  4.  Nathaniel,  taxed  1680 
(Family  3).  5.  Ralph  (Family  4).  6.  Grace,  b.  May  16,  1663,4; 
this  is  all  we  know  of  her. 

[Family  2.)  John  Hall2,  John1  :   b.  in  Charlestown,  1645.    Re- 
ceived bounty  money  with  his  father  and  thirteen   others    for    killing 
a  wolf  in  1663.     John  Hall,  Jr.,  was  a  witness,  Feb.  8,  1664,  5,  to 
a  deed  from  Thomas  Beard  to  Parson  John  Reyner.       In    1675    he 
bought  land  of  the  town  committee.     He  was  on  tax  list  of  the  Prov- 
ince in  1680.      He  lived  on  Dover  Neck,  Dec.   6,    1693  ;   he    gave 
bonds  as  tavern  keeper  ;  his  sureties  being  Job  Clements  and  Kingsley 
Hall.      He  probably  had    land    of  his    father,    and    received   several 
other  grants  of  land  from  the  town,    and     from     his     wife's     father. 
John  Hall  was  Representative    of  Dover    in    the    New    Hampshire 
Legislature,  and  was  sworn  in  Nov.  1,  1694,   May    15,    1695,    and 
Sept.  16,  1696.      He  died  while  a  member.      Parson  Pike's    Journal 
savs,  April  28,  1697,  "  John  Hall,  Sen.,  was  drowned  coming  up  the 
river  in  a  little  float,  near  Green-point."      His  estate  was  returned  by 
Ralph  Hall  and  John  Tuttle  at  £104  i8j,  od,  Feb.     1,    1700.       His 
sons  Thomas  and  Joseph    were    appointed    administrators    Dec.    3, 
1700  ;   their  mother,  Abigail  Downs,  having  declined  the  trust.    The 
administrators,  with  their  mother  Abigail,  conveyed  to  Samuel  Emer- 
son, Dec.  18,  1700,  for  £25,  the  thirty  acres  granted  their  father  by 
the  town  in  J693,  4,  west  of  Back  river.      John  Hall  married,  Nov. 
8,  1 67 1,  Abigail,  dau.  of  John  and  Abigail  (Nutter)  Roberts.     John 
Roberts  was  son  of  the  emigrant  Thomas  Roberts,  and  Abigail  was 
daughter  of  Elder  Hatevil  Nutter.      John   Hall's    widow    m.,    Oct. 
24,  1698,  Thomas  Downs,  of  Cochecho,  who    was    killed    by    the 
Indians  in  1711.      Children  of  John  and  Abigail  Hall  were  : 

1.  John,  b.  June  37,  1673  (Family  5).  2.  Thomas,  b.  June  19, 
1675  (Family  6).  3.  Joseph,  b.  Feb.  24,  1679,  80.  4.  Hatevil, 
(Family  7).      5.   Sarah,  she  conveyed  land  Jan.  9,  1 718,    19,    (which 


1 54  Hall  Genealogy. 

had  been  conveyed  to  her  father  in  1693,  4)  to  Richard  Rook,  or 
Rookes,  of  Dover,  for  £100  ;  she  m.  Richard  Goodwin  and  had 
children  baptised  in  Dover  as  follows:  i.  Elizabeth,  bapt.  Oct.  15, 
1721  ;   ii.  Richard,  bapt.  April  19,  1724;   iii.  Hannah,  bapt.  Aug.  J- 

1726.      6.  Mary,  m.  Sanders  of  the  island    of  Nantucket.      It 

is  barely  possible  that  the  above  named  Mary  and  Sarah  were  daugh- 
ters of  John  Hall3,  and  were  granddaughters  of  John  Hall2,  the 
tavern  keeper.  They  both  made  quit  claim  to  land  in  Dover  in 
1730. 

(Family  3.)  Nathaniel  Hall2,  John1:  his  name  appears  on  the 
Province  tax  lists  of  1680  and  81,  also  on  a  list  of  petitioners  for 
military  defence,  Feb.  20,  15^9,  90.  He  had  a  grant  of  ten  acres 
at  the  head  of  his  20  acre  lot  west  of  Back  river,  and  it  would 
seem  that  the  deacon's  Back  river  property  went  to  him.  Nathaniel 
and  his  wife,  Hannah,  of  Dover,  conveyed,  Nov.  r6,  1696,  for 
£36,  to  Nathaniel  Meader,  of  Oyster  Bay,  30  acres  of  land  "gtanted 
my  deceased  father,  Deacon  John  Hall,"  and  ten  acres  on  Back 
river.     This  is  all  we  know  of  Nathaniel  Hall. 

(Family  4.)  Ralph  Hall2,  John1  :  Deacon  John  Hall  deeded  or 
conveyed  to  his  son  Ralph  Hall,  Feb.  1,  1685,  6,  one-half  of  his 
Dover  Neck  homestead,  the  other  half  to  be  his  on  the  decease  of 
the  deacon.  July  11,  1694,  he  had  a  grant  of  20  acres  on  Fresh 
Creek.  This  land  was  lost  with  numbers  of  other  grants  there  in  a 
law  suit  with  Richard  Waldron,  who  claimed  by  prior  grant.  The 
town  s;ave  lands  elsewhere  to  all  the  sufferers  or  their  heirs.  Ralph 
received  Xio  for  quit  claim  of  Richard  and  Elizabeth  (wife;  Pink- 
ham  of  a  lot  of  3^  acres  once  the  "  house  lot  of  our  grand- 
father Thomas  Leighton."  Ralph  Hall  was  auditor  in  1702  and 
constable  in  1705.  Pike's  Journal  says,  Nov.  13,  1706:  "Ralph 
Hall,  Sen.,  of  Dover,  deceased,  after  six  days  illness  with  grevious 
pain  in  his  side  together  with  the  fever."  He  must  have  married 
twice.  The  name  of  his  first  wife  is  not  ascertained.  He  married, 
2d,  May  26,  1701,  Mary,  dau.  of  Philip  Chesley ;  in  1713  she, 
with  her  sister  Esther,  wife  of  John  Hall,  gave  quit  claim  deed  of 
their  father's  home  plantation  at  Oyster  rive.r  for  £45.  But  Mary 
married  again  and  as  wife  of  John  Foy,  Feb.  26,  17 17,  18,  quit 
claimed  to  John  Hall,  evidently  son  of  Ralph  Hall  by  a  former  wife, 
all  her  "right  in  lands  that  my  former  husband,  Ralph  Hall,  left  me." 
Sons  of  Ralph  Hall,  John  and  James,  were  appointed  administrators 
March  4,  1706;  7.      The  estate  was  divided  between   seven    sons,    a 


Halls  of  Dover.  155 

double  portion  being  given  to  the  eldest,  and  X15  reserved  for  Jona 
than,  who  was  a  weak  and  sick  child.      Names  of  sons  were  : 

1.  John  (Family  9).  2.  James.  (Family  10).  3  Jonathan, 
sickly  and  weak  child.  4.  Isaac,  said  by  tradition  to  have  moved  to 
Massachuetts.  And  by  second  wife  :  5.  Benjamin,  b.  June,  1702. 
(Family  11).  6.  Ralph  (Family  12).  7.  Joseph,  b.  Maich  26, 
1706  (Family  13). 

Third  Generation. 

[Family  5.)  John  Hall3,  John2,  John1:  b.  June  27,  1673  »  resi~ 
dence  Dover,  in  the  part  called  Oyster  river  ;  m.  Elizabeth.  John 
Hall,  "  eldest  son  and  heir  "  of  John  Hall,  deceased,  with  Elizabeth 
his  wife  and  his  mother  Abigail,  conveyed,  Aug.  3,  1698,  to  John 
Tuttle  ten  acres  of  land  (then  in  possession  of  said  Tuttle),  for- 
merly belonging  to  grandfather,  Deacon  Hall,  being  west  of  the  road 
to  Cochecho,  the  purchase  of  June  8,  1675.  Dec.  10,  1700,  his 
younger  brothers  Thomas  and  Joseph  were  appointed  to  administer 
on  th  ir  father's  estate,  and  no  allusion  to  him  is  made  ;  nor  in  any 
subsequent  transaction  on  record.  Probably  he  was  dead  at  this 
time. 

It  is  possible  that  Sarah  Hall  who  married  a  Meader,  and  Mary 
Hall  who  married  a  Sanders,  mentioned  in  account  of  his  father,  were 
his  children.  "  Widow  Elizabeth  Hall,  of  Dover,"  married  Sept.  7, 
1705,  Benjamin  Pierce  from  Watertown,  Mass.,  and  had:  i.  Ben 
jamin  Pierce,  b.  1707  ;  ii.  Joseph  Pierce,  b.  1709.  She  d.  and 
Benjamin  Pierce  m.,  2(1,  17 14,  Hannah  Ash  and  had  seven  more 
children,  all  on  the  Dover  records. 

One  child  of  John  and  Elizabeth  Hall  is  recorded  viz:  Sarah,  b. 
July  25,  1696. 

There  was  a  John  Hall  (whose  pedigree  we  cannot  trace)  who 
had  a  wife  Sarah  and  lived  at  Oyster  river  about  this  time,  and  had  : 
John,  b.  Dec.  17,  1720     And  a  Sarah  was  bapt.  March  6,  1720. 

[Family  6.)  Thomas  Hall3,  John2,  John1  :  b.  June  19,  1675  ; 
d.  in  or  before  1732;  residence  Oyster  river,  Dover.  He  was  ad- 
ministrator with  brother  Joseph  on  estate  of  their  father,  Dec.  10, 
10,  1700.  He  and  brother  Joseph  owned  the  privilege  of  the  second 
falls  on  the  Cochecho.  These  two  also  took  quitclaim  May  11, 
1730,  from  Richard  and  Sarah  (Hall)  Goodwin,  and  also  apparently

[Family  50.)  Sarah  Hall6,  Joseph5,  Joseph4,  Ralphs,  Ralph2, 
John1  :  she  m.  George  £)uint,  Esq.  ;  he  was  of  Spanish  descent  and  • 
came  to  Dover  from  one  of  the  West  India  Islands  ;  he  was  a  good 
man,  full  of  Christian  hope,  genial,  affectionate,  and  upright  ;  he  was 
a  deacon  in  the  Congregational  church  of  Dover,  N.  H.,  and  was 
universally  esteemed  and  loved.  Dea.  Quint  died  Oct.,  1878,  of 
heart  disease  very  suddenly  while  sitting  in  his  easy  chair,  in  the 
evening  after  attending  to  his  business  all  day  as  usual  and  apparently 
as  well  as  usual ;  his  wife  Sarah  died  four  years  previously  ;  they 
had  an  only  child,  Alonzo  Hall,  who  with  his  wife  and  five  children 
was  living  with  his  father  in  Dover  at  the  time  of  his  father's  death. 
Alonzo  H.  Quint7  studied  theology  at  Andover  Theological  Semi- 
nary, and  was  a  resident  graduate  in  that  seminary,  1852,  when  he 
commenced  a  correspondence  with  me  on  the  subject  of  my  line  of 
Halls,  the  Halls  of  Medford,  inquiring  for  information  which  I  had 
obtained  from  the  original  records  of  Medford,  Cambridge  and  Con- 
cord ;  he  afterwards  contributed  information  on  the  subject  to  Rev. 
Mr.  Brooks  the  author  of  the  History  of  Medford.  He  became 
extensively  known  as  a  genealogist,  and  consequently  has  been 
troubled  with  too  many  letters  of  inquiry  for  information.  Dr. 
Quint  published  some  twenty  years  ago  four  generations  of  the 
descendants  of  Dea.  John  Hall  of  Dover,  and  also  of  Ralph  Hall,  of 


Halls  of  Dover.  171 

Exeter,  and  subsequently  reviewed  those  of  Dea.  John  Hall  and  pub- 
lished the  result  in  one  of  the  Dover  papers  ;  and  these  publications 
which  he  very  kindly  sent  me  have  constituted  the  greater  portion  of 
what  is  presented  of  these  two  lines  of  Halls  in  this  genealogy.  Rev. 
Dr.  Quint  was  a  chaplin  in  the  war  for  the  Union  ;  he  has  been 
settled  as  pastor  of  several  churches  in  Massachusetts  which  he  has 
served  with  great  acceptance.  And  he  is  acknowledged  to  be  one 
of  the  ripest  scholars  in  theology,  and  one  of  the  most  distinguished 
leaders  in  the  Congregational  denomination.  Several  years  ago  he 
suffered  from  a  bronchial  hemorrhage,  and  retired  to  the  old  home- 
stead in  Dover  for  rest.

farmer  ;  residence  Greenland,  N.  H.,  and  represented  the  town  in 
the  Legislature  for  two  years  ;  he  was  a  man  of  good  judgment,  and

Capt.  William  Reed,  b.  on  Newagen  Island,  Me.,  Oct.  II,  181 J  ; 
resides  in  Oakland  City,  Cal.  Capt.  Reed  studied  navigation  when 
quite  young,  going  to  sea  with  his  father  ;  at  the  age  of  19,  he  com- 
manded a  vessel,  and  he  followed  the  sea  almost  continually  for 
thirty  years;  he  went  to  California  first  in  1850  with  a  company 
who  took  with  them,  around  Cape  Horn,  in  the  ship  Rob  Roy,  a 
stern  wheel  steamer  which  they  put  together  at  San  Francisco,  and 
afterwards  run  her  between  Sacramento  and  Marysville,  on  the 
Sacramento  river.  Capt.  Reed  returned  to  Maine  and  engaged  in 
farming  until  1855  when  he  went  again  to  California,  and  engaged 
in  mining  until  the  arrival  of  his  family,  Nov.  14,  1856,  when  he 
settled  in  Oakland,  Cal.  ;  he  is  a  large  real  estate  owner  ;  he  and 
his  wife  are  both  in  good  health,  and  likely  to  live  many  years  ; 
their  children  and  grandchildren  are  all  living  near  them.  Children

Ralphs,  Ralph3,  John1:  b.  in  Greenland,  N.  H.,  1822;  m.  Rebecca 
Odell.  He  is  in  the  custom  house,  Boston,  Mass.,  and  has  sent  me, 
very  kindly,  considerable  information  ;  he  says  that  Sergeant  John 
Hall,  an  early  settler  of  Dover,  exchanged  farms  with  somebody  at 
Bloody  Point,  or  Greenland,  then  a  part  of  Dover  on  the  border  of 
Portsmouth  and  joining  the  great  bay  ;  the  Packers  and  Pierces  of 
Portsmouth  are  descendants  of  Sergeant  John  Hall  and  the  Hall  farm 
became  connected  with  the  Pierbe  or  Packer  farm.  On  the  Hall  farm 
near  the  bay  was  a  small  graveyard  and  Mark  Pierce  ordered  Ralph 
Hall,  who  was  at  work  for  him,  to  cart  small  stone  from  a  certain  lot 
and  dump  them  upon  those  graves,  and  although  Mr.  Hall  felt  bad

HALLS  OF  EXETER,  N.  H. 

[Compiled   almost  entirely  from  newspaper  articles   furnished  by  Rev.  Dr.  A.    H.  Quint,  of 

Dover,  N.  H.] 

The  emigrant  ancestor  was 

(Family  i.)  Ralph  Hall1,  b.  in  England  in  1619,  and  was  living 
in  1690  ;  the  records  of  Exeter  show  that  he  was  there  from  1639 
to  1645,  ar*d  again  permanently  after  1664.  He  was  in  Dover, 
from  1650  to  1664,  and  was  probably  in  Charlestown,  Mass., 
from  1645  to  1650 ;  records  of  sales  of  land  in  Charlestown, 
by  Ralph  Hall  and  his  wife  Mary,  are  as  follows :  mortgaged 
land  on  the  "  Mystic  side "  to  Thomas  Gardiner,  of  Roxbury, 
which  he  had  purchased  of  Thomas  Burton ;  sold  twenty  acres 
on  Mystic  side*  July  15,  1648,  9  ;  he  conveyed  sixty  acres  of  land  in 
Charlestowr,  Feb.  2,  1649,  to  Richard  Cook,  of  that  place.  Ralph 
Hall  and  Mary  his  wife,  sold  land  on  the  Mystic  side,  Jan.  25, 
1648,  9,  which  did  "anciently"  belong  to  John  Hall  and  Richard 
Kittle.  John  Hall  of  Charlestown  had  lot  No.  48  on  the  Mystic 
side  in  1633.  What  John  Hall  was  this  ?  While  Ralph  Hall  lived  in 
Dover,  he  was  honored  with  the  rank  of  lieutenant  and  became  com- 
missioner of  small  causes  ;  selectman,  etc.  His  premises  on  Dover 
Neck  he  sold  Oct.  19,  1664,  to  John  Reyner,  "sometime  teacher 
at  Dover  ;  "  he  was  delegate  from  Exeter  to  the  first  New  Hamp- 
shire assembly  which  met  1680,  and  which  consisted  of  eleven  men. 
it  is  the  tradition  that  he  was  a  brother  of  Dea.  John  Hall  of  Dover, 
and  that  another  brother  settled  near  Boston.      Children  were  : 

1.  Mary,  b.  Jan.  15,  1647  ;  d.  July,  1648.  2.  Huldah,  b.  April

life,  but  was  driven  from  it  by  the  revolutionary  troubles,  when  he  im- 
mediately took  decidedly  American  grounds.  In  Dec.  13,  1774,  he 
was  engaged  in  the  removal  of  stores  from  the  fort  at  Newcastle. 
In  1775  and  1776,  he  was  a  delegate  to  the  general  congress;  he 
took  command  of  an  independent  company  of  cadets  and  was  pre- 
sent at  Burgoin's  surrender.  He  served  in  Rhode  Island  with  a

in  1778,  was  agent  under  Congress  for  building  ships  of  war,  and 
was  continental  agent  for  New  Hampshire.  In  1779,  he  was  pre- 
sident of  N.  H.  convention  for  regulating  the  currency  ;  and  from 
1777  to  1782  was  speaker  of  the  N.  H.  House  of  Representatives. 
In  1780,  he  was  a  commissioner  to  raise  men  and  procure  provisions 
for  the  army  ;  in  June  13,  1783,  he  was  again  elected  delegate  to 
12

Congress  ;  in  1784  and  5,  he  was  member  of  N.  H.  Senate,  and  in 
the  later  year  its  president ;  In  1788,  he  was  delegate  to  the  con- 
vention which  framed  the  constitution  of  the  United  States.  In 
March,  1788,  Ik  was  elected  representative  in  N.  H.  Legislature  arid 
speaker  of  the  house  ;  but  took  the  office  of  governor  to  which 
he  was  simultaneously  chosen;  in  Nov.,  1788,  he  was  elected  a  mem- 
ber of  the  senate  of  the  United  States,  and  became  the  first  presiding 
officer  of  that  body.  He  was  re  elected  senator  in  1794;  later  in 
life  he  was  nominated  for  vice-president  of  the  United  States  ;  but 
declined  on  account  of  advanced  age  ;  from  1801  to  1805,  he  was 
representative  in  N.  H.  Legislature;  in  1804  and  5,  was  speaker; 
and  from  1805  to  1810,  and  1810  to  181 1,  was  governor  of  New 
Hampshire  ;  the  degree  of  LL.D.,  was  given  him  by  Dartmouth 
College  in  1805.  He  died  at  Portsmouth,  Sept.  18,  1819.  Of  his 
patriotism  the  following  speaks  emphatically  :  "In  one  of  the  darkest 
periods  of  the  revolution,  when  our  means  were  small,  the  Provincial 
legislature  was  in  session  in  Exeter,  the  resources  of  the  country  were 
at  the  lowest  ebb,  despair  was  on  every  mind  when  John  Langdon 
arose  in  that  assembly  and  made  this  remarkable  speech  :  l  I  have 
two  thousand  dollars  in  specie,  I  will  pledge  my  plate  for  as  much 
more,  I  have  eighty  hogsheads  of  Tobago  rum  which  will  be  sold 
for  the  service  of  the  State.  The  country  shall  have  it  all,  if  we 
succeed  in  establishing  our  liberty  I  shall  be  repaid  ;  if  not  property 
is  of  no  value,'  such  a  proposition  reanimated  every  one  ;  called 
hope  back  to  all,  and  and  the  governor  said  :  'We  can  now  raise  a 
New  Hampshire  regiment,  and  my  friend  John  Stark  can  command 
it.'  The  regiment  was  raised  and  fought  the  battle  of  Bennington. 
This  success  was  the  turning  point  which  resulted  in  gaining  our 
liberty."

m.,  1st,  March  17,  1816,  Mary,  dau.  of  Capt.  Nathan  Howe,  of 
Shrewsbury,  Mass.,  having  born  him  six  children,  d.  in  1825  5  leav- 
ing behind  her  the  cherished  remembrances  which  hallow  the  name 
of  faithful  wife  and  good  mother  ;  m.,  2d,  1827,  Eliza,  dau.  of  Wil- 
liam Parkman,  Esq.,  of  Camden,  Me.,  who  survived  him.  Mr. 
Hall  was  brought  up  behind  the  counter,  except  the  enjoyment  of  a 
few  months  at  school  at  Andover.  He  went  to  Camden,  Me,  in 
1800,  ;  was  early  interested  in  military  affairs,  became  colonel  and 
in  the  war  of  1812,  had  the  command  of  a  detachment  of  30  men. 
The  parapets  upon  Eaton's  and  Jacobs  Point  were  erected  under 
his  supervision  ;  was  deputy  sheriff  of  Lincoln  and  Hancock  coun- 
ties, and  first  sheriff  of  Waldo  county,  which  [he  organized  in 
1827.  In  1830,  was  post  master  at  Camden  ;  in  1833,  was  elected 
to  Congress,  and  again  in  1835  ;  in  1827,  was  again  post  master  at 
Camden  ;  from  1838  to  1846  was  measurer  in  the  custom  house, 
Boston;  when  unsolicited,  his  friend  and  former  associate  in  Congress, 
President  Polk,  conferred  upon  him  the  office  of  navy  agent  for  the 
post  of  Boston;  in  1849,  being  removed  by  President  Taylor  on 
political  grounds,  he  received  the  entire  vote  of  his  party  for  mayor 
of  Boston.  Failing  of  being  elected,  he  retired  to  his  farm  in  Cam- 
den ;  where  in  the  bosom  of  his  family  he  enjoyed  a  quiet  rest,  and 
extended  its  graceful  hospitalities  to  his  numerous  friends.  But  in 
1857,  uPon  tne  election  of  Buchannan,  he  was  again  appointed 
weigher,  guager  and  measurer  in  the  Boston  custom  house,  which 
position  he  retained  until  removed  by  the  hand  of  d^ath.  Col.  Hall, 
was  a  democrat  of  the  old  school,  and  cherished  an  ardent  love  for  the 
union  of  the  States;  endowed  by  nature  with  great  physical  power, 
and  possessing  a  vigorous  and  well  balanced  intellect  he  evinced  an 
ability  commensurate  to  all  the  stations  which  he  was  called  to  fill  ; 
hence  all  of  his  official  acts,  and  particularly  his  course  while  in  the 
Federal  Congress,  were  marked  by  that  good  sense  and  judgment 
which  never  failed  him,  his  course  was  especially  commended  by 
President  Jackson.  His  private  life  was  almost  without  reproach. 
His  reputation  for  honesty  was  proverbial,  hence  though  rich  in  the 
possession  of  a  good  conscience  he  was  comparatively  poor  in  worldly 
goods.  But  he  lived  not  for  himself  alone,  the  generous  sympathy 
of  his  great  heart  embraced  the  world,  and  his  bestowment  of  favors 
was  limited  only  by  his  means.  His  last  brief  and  painful  illness  he 
bore  with  patience  and  fortitude.  He  died  like  a  Christian  with  un- 
wavering faith  in  Him  who  doeth  all  things  well  ;  contented,  unre- 
pining  and  resigned,  he  bid  a  cheerful  adieu  to  all  the  attachments  of

humbly  and  hopefully  trusting  in  the  unfailing  mercy  of  God.  His 
remains  were  conveyed  to  Camden,  the  place  he  loved  so  well,  and 
deposited  in  the  family  burying  ground  by  the  side  of  the  loved  and 
lost  who  had  gone  before  him.  The  above  was  substantially  pub-

His  wife  joined  him  in  New  Orleans  and  became  an  efficient  teacher 
of  the  young  freedmen  for  two  years.  On  their  way  home  in  1866

the  south.  Removing  with  her  husband  to  Boston,  Mass.,  where

city,  she  bravely  shared  the  vicisitudes  of  his  lot.  Being  a  woman 
of  great  force  of  character,  a  fine  scholar,  and  of  rare  taste,  her  in- 
fluence for  good  was  made  efficient  in  Boston  •,  she  was  a  member  of 
several  benevolent  societies,  and  the  secretary  or  atleast  oneof  them  ; 
but  her  life  of  usefulness  was  cut  off  by  a  protracted  ard  very  painful 
sickness  which  terminated  in  death  March  22,  1880.  A  biographical

Halls  of  Yarmouth.  211 


HALLS  OF  YARMOUTH,. MASS. 

The  emigrant  ancestor  was 

[Family  1.)  John  Hall".  He  came  from  Coventry,  Warwick- 
shire, England,  in  1630,  to  Charlestown,  Mass.,  probably  in  the 
fleet  with  Gov.  Winthrop.  Coventry  is  about  95  miles  north-west 
from  London.  It  is  not  known  whether  he  had  a  family  then  or 
not.  He  was  then  probably  about  21  years  of  age.  His  name  is 
No.  19  on  the  list  of  church  members  of  the  first  church  of  Charles- 
tOA-n  at  it  its  organization,  July  30,  1630.  There  was  then  no 
church  in  Boston  ;  but  in  1632,  a  majority  of  its  members  being  on 
that  side  of  Charles  river,  they  caused  its  removal,  and  it  became  the 
firsc  church  of  Boston.  The  remembers  remaining  organized  a  church 
in  Charlestown,  Nov.  2,  1632,  consisting  of  16  men  and  their  wives 
and  three  unmarried  men.  Among  this  number  were  John  Hall 
and  his  wife  Bethia.  John  Hall  had  lot  No.  48  in  1633.  He  was  made 
freeman  May  14,  1634.  There  is  but  little  doubt  that  he  resided  in 
Barnstable  in  1640;  he  was  recorded  as  able  to  bear  arms  in  1643 
and  Mr.  Paine,  the  historian  of  Harwich,  Mass.,  said  that  John  Hall 
was  an  inhabitant  of  Barnstable  after  1647,  an<^  t^lat  ne  was  a  res'* 
dent  of  Yarmouth  in  1653.  Barnstable  and  Yarmouth  joined  each 
other  and  were  both  incorporated  as  towns  in  1639.  That  part 
of  Yarmouth  where  John  Hall  lived  was  set  off  as  a  separate  town 
in  1793,  and  named  Dennis. 

Josiah  S.  Haii,  one  of  the  descendants  of  John  Hall  now  (1880) 
owns  and  lives  upon  the  eld  homestead  in  Dennis,  and  says  he  thinks 
that  John  Hall  moved  n  :o  it  in  1641.  Perhaps  it  might  have 
been  at  that  time  claimed  is  a  part  of  Barnstable.  Josiah  S.  Hall, 
who  has  furnished  me  with  a  good  deal  of  information,  also  says, 
"  The  Halls  have  occupied  a  position  as  good  citizens,  and  I  have 
never  heard  of  any  of  them  being  guilty  of  a  crime  that  would  make 
any  one  who  bore  the  name  to  blush.  The  emigrant  ancestor  was 
a  man  of  character,  though  not  much  in  office." 

The  probability  is  that  several  of  John  Hall's  kindred  came  to 
this  country  from  Warwickshire,  England.  It  is  the  tradition  in 
Sutton  that  a  brother,  with  his  family,  came  with   him    in    the    same 


212  Hall  Genealogy. 

ship,  and  that  this  brother  was  the  grandfather  of  Deacon  Percival 
Hall,  of  Suton,  who  appears  by  the  history  of  Sutton  to  have  been 
the  chief  means  of  procuring  the  settlement  of  one  of  John  Hall's 
descendant  as  the  pastor  of  the  church  of  Sutton,  viz  :  the  Rev. 
Dr.  David  Hall,  from  Yarmouth. 

The  relationship  between  the  Halls  of  Yarmouth  and  the  Halls 
of  Medford  is  claimed  also  by  their  descendants  who  settled  in  Gran- 
ville, N.*Y. 

There  are  two  marriages  recorded  in  the  N.  E.  H.  G.  Reg., 
which  may  have  reference  to  this  line  of  Halls.      The  first  is  in  vol. 

2,  p.  "John  Hall  of  Warwickshire,  Eng.,  married  the  youngest 
daughter  of  John  Farmer,  of  Ansley,  Warwickshire.  John  Far- 
mer died  1669."  The  other  is  in  vol.  1,  p.  26.  " Pease  mar- 
ried John  Hall,  of  Warwickshire." 

As  to  the  number  of  children  had  by  John  Hall,  of  Yarmouth, 
it  is  believed  that  he  had  twelve  sons,  although  we  have  the  names 
of  only  ten.  But  Rev.  Dr.  David  Hall  said  that  he  had  twelve 
sons,  of  whom  he  had  seen  seven. 

Arunah  Hall,  of  New  Lebanon,  N.  H.,  when  he  was  85  years 
old,  in  1864,  said  that  he  had  often  heard  his  father  say  that  his  emi- 
grant ancestor  had  twelve  sons  and  no  daughters. 

Five  of  these  sons  were  very  probably  the  children  of  his  wife 
Bethia,  but  we  find  a  record  of  only  two.  They  are  among  the 
baptisms  in  Charlestown.     John,  son  of  John  and  Bethia  Hall,    13, 

3,  1638  ;  Shebar,  son  of  John  and  Bethia  Hall,  9,  12,  1639.  The 
children  baptized  in  Yarmouth,  beginning  with  Joseph,  were  the 
sons  of  John  and  Elizabeth  Hall      /VV>  G^t^^tL     '£ &,y^ . - 

John  Hall  made  his  will  July  15,  1694,  in  which  he  mentions 
eight  sons.  His  will  was  probated  Aug.  29,  1696  ;  he  died  July 
23,  1696,  and  was  buried  on  his  farm.  The  names  of  his  children 
were  : 

1.  Samuel,  the  date  cf  his  birth  is  not  known,  but  probably  it 
was  before  the  birth  of  John,  and  there  might  have  been  two  others 
born  before  1637,  of  whom  no  mention  is  made.  Samuel  m.  Eliza-

and  died  Jan.  20,  1694,  he  had  no  children,  but  willed  his

This  Thomas  Hall,  Sen.,  may  have  been  taken  for  Thomas  Hull  ?

Yarmouth,  but  it  is  not  certain  ;  he  removed  to  Mansfield,  Conn., 
Aug.  20,  1694,  then  a  part  of  Windham  ;  Windham  was  began  to 
be  settled  in  1686.  Joseph  Hall  was  the  first  one  of  the  brothers  to

and  continued  in  office  until  his  death,  nearly  sixty  years  ;  he  "was 
venerated  in  life  and  lamented  in  death  ;"  there  has  been  a  monu- 
ment erected  to  his  memory  by  the  people  of  his  charge  in  Sutton  ; 
Rev.  Dr.  David  Hall  was  a  man  of  noble  bearing,  intellectual  vigor 
and  fervent  piety  ;  he  was  several  times  called  to  settle  over  other 
more  prominent  places,  but  he  preferred  to  remain  in  Sutton,  where

tached ;  he  was  an  intimate  friend  and  admirer  of  Rev.  Dr.  Jona- 
than Edwards,  and  they  were  united  in  opposing  those  who  rejected 
the  revivals  of  that  period,  and  also  in  opposing  those  whose  ex- 
travagances brought  those  revivals  into  disrepute.  Dr.  David  Hall 
was  one  of  the  candidates  for  the  presidency  of  Princeton  college, 
N.  J.,  at  the  time  Dr.  Jonathan  Edwards  was  elected  lo  that  office.

were  well  united  and  were  built  up;  the  number  added  during  his 
minstry  was  459  ;  his  salary  was  to  be  =£100,  "  at  the  present  value 
of  paper  money  ;"  this  led  to  continual  trouble  ;  it  was  often  diffi- 
cult to  ascertain  how  much  was  his  due  ;  the  town  also  gave  him  a 
deed  in  fee  simple  of  130  acres  of  land  and  mateiials  for  building  his

She  was  then  an  orphan  of  only  15  years  of  age.  She  d.  Feb.  21, 
1843,  x-  72  Vears.  Mr.  Hall  received  a  good  early  education.  In 
the  month  of  May,  1776,  he  procured  enlisting  orders  from  Lt.  E. 
F.  Payne,  of  the  Randolph,  of  Charlestown,  S.  C.,  a  protection  ship 
of  20  guns.  Payne  had  promised  Hall  a  lieutenancy  in  the  marine 
department  if  he  would  enlist  15  men  for  the  sea  service  at  Charles- 
ton. Mr.  Hall  soon  succeeded  in  enlisting  in  Barnstable  Co.,  29 
men  and  a  boy.  After  suitable  preparations  had  been  made  he  set 
sail  in  the  Eagle  a  ship  of  20  guns,  from  Stonington  harbor  in  the 
month  of  June.  They  met  with  success  at  first  capturing  three 
prizes,  two  of  which  were  conveyed  by  Payne  to  Boston,  but  the 
paisoners  on  board  the  other  overpowered  the  crew,  and  sailed  to 
Glasgow,  Scotland,  where  Lt.  Hall  was  imprisoned,  on  being  released 
April,  1777,  he  made  his  way  home  through  Ireland,  Barbadoes  and 
Virginia,  to  Philadelphia,  and  to  Yarmouth  with  a  very  sad  experience, 
Feb.  22,  1778.  Mr.  Hall  soon  after  commenced  the  study  of  law 
at  Barnstable,  in  the  office  of  Mr.  Shearjashub  Bourne.  In  1782, 
he  removed  to  Vermont,  and  settled  in  Westminister,  where  he  was 
secretary  pro.  tern.,  of  the  State  Council  that  year.  He  was  chosen 
in  1789,  1 79 1,  1792,  1808,  to  represent  the  town  in  the  general 
assembly.  With  Paul  Brigham,  Samuel  Hitchcock  and  Lemuel 
Chipman,  he  was  appointed  a  presidential  elector  by  the  general 
assembly  in  1792,  and  with  his  colleagues  cast  the  vote  of  the 
State  for  George  Washington  and  John  Adams.  By  an  act  of 
general  assembly,  passed  on  the  1st  of  Nov.,  1800,  incorporating 
Middlebury  College,  he  was  constituted  a  fellow  of  that  institution  and 
served  in  that  capacity  until  his  death.  In  1799,  he  was  a  member 
of  the  council  of  censors  ;  from  1794  to  180 1,  he  was  a  judge  of  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  State.  He  discharged  the  duties  of  this  office 
with  great  fidelity  and  credit  ;  a  charge  which  he  delivered  to  the 
grand  jury  of  Windham  county  in  1798,  was  considered  at  the  time 
u  as  replete  with  sound  principles  and  honorable  to  its  author  as  a 
politician,  as  a  scholar,  and  as  an  ardent  federalist,"  Dr.  John  A. 
Graham  obseived  of  Mr.  Hall  in  1797,  "he  fills  the  office  of  Su- 
preme Judge  in  such  a  manner  as  to  reflect  honor  even  on  a  more 
important  station  ;"  while  on  the  bench  his  opinions  were  prepared 
with  deliberation,  and  his  decisions  were  ever  based  on  justice  and 
right.  His  legal  abilities  were  of  a  high  order,  and  were  well  suited 
to  the  times  and  people  among  whom  he  lived.  His  memory  was 
so  wonderfully  tenacious  as  to  make  him  master  of  every  subject  he 
heard  or  read   and   enabled    him   to   recapitulate    them   without    the

slightest  hesitation,  and  illustrate  whatever  topic  he  might  have 
under  consideration.  This  remarkable  faculty,  combined  with  an 
extensive  experience  of  men  and  things,  and  an  affible  disposition 
rendered  his  conversation  both  agreeable  and  instructive.  As  a 
friend,  Mr.  Hall  was  constant,  confiding  and  generous  ;  as  a  citizen, 
patriotic,  public  spirited,  and  liberal ;  as  a  husband,  obliging,  affec- 
tionate, and  gentle  ;  he  was  ever  ready  to  assist  the  poor  in  their 
misery,  and  the  afflicted  in  their  suffering;  nothing  aroused  more 
fully  his  resentment  than  the  oppression  of  the  weak  by  the  strong  ; 
his  life  was  an  active  one,  and  his  influence  was  extensively  felt  ; 
while  attending  general  assembly  at  Montpelier  in  the  autumn  of 
1808,  he  was  seized  with  a  violent  catarrhal  affection  which  assumed 
an  incurable  form  and  caused  his  death  in  the  middle  of  the  next 
May.     (See  B.  H.  Hall's  Eastern  Vermont).     Children  were  :

commenced  the  practice  of  medicine  at  Swanton  Falls,  Vt.,  in  18 12  ; 
removed  to  St.  Albans  in  1820;  and  to  Burlington  in  1842.  He 
was  very  enthusiastic  in  the  pursuit  of  his  professional  laoors  ;  had  a 
peculiar  aptitude  in  devising  means  to  meet  emergencies.  As  a 
surgeon  he  was  unusually  successful.  Dr.  Hall  wrote  a  good  deal 
on  medical  and  other  topics,  but  through  diffidence  onlv  a  tew  of  his 
articles  were  published  ;  among  such  might  be  mentioned  his  essay 
on  "  Epidemic  Erysipelas,"  and  a  long  and  able  article  on  tl  Fevers 
of  the  Champlain  Valley,"  from  the  former  of  these  works  published 
about  the  year  1843,  and  critically  reviewed  by  the  American  ^Journal 
of  the  medical  sciences,  our  standard  authors  upon  the  subject  of 
erysipelas  have  liberally  quoted  both  in  this  country  and  Great  Britain, 
evincing  their  appreciation  of  his  skill  as  an  observer  as  well  as  his 
truthfulness  as  a  theoretical  writer.  Such  an  honorable  mention  of 
his  "  Word  Spoken  in  Season  "  was  not  surmised  in  the  slightest 
degree  bv  Dr.  Hall  while  living  ;  for  such  was  his  extreme  diffidence 
in  appearing  before  the  public  as  a  medical  writer,  that  it  was  with 
great  difficulty  he  could  be  prevailed  upon  to  publish  the  work  from 
which  these  quotations  were  made,  and  which  has  done  such  honor 
to  his  memory  as  a  medical  observer.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Franklin  Co  and  State  Medical  Societies  of  Vermont,  the  former  of 
which  he  joined  in  1 8 1 3  ;  he  was  also  an  honored  member  of  the 
masonic  fraternity.  The  doctor  was  considered  a  healthy  man  and 
strictly  temperate  in  his  habits.  During  his  residence  in  St.  Albans 
and  Burlington,  he  wielded  the  pen  unflinchingly  in  the  cause  of 
temperance.  He  also  delivered  many  lectures  upon  temperance, 
some  of  which  were  published  in  the  local  papers  of  the  two  places. 
Dr.  Hall  was  a  dignified  though  very  genial  man,  erect  in  figure  and

pass  away  so  soon.  He  was  especially  fond  of  Maria,  and  her  loss 
and  the  loss  of  his  whole  family  aggravated  his  deep  dejection  which, 
formerly  came  upon  him  occasionally,  and  in  his  sadness  he  found 
no  consolation  in  the  blessed  doctrine  of  a  glorious  immortality  ,•  ac- 
customed to  investigate  the  things  which  are  seen,  he  could  not 
believe  in  the  unseen.  To  mitigate  his  grief  in  part,  he  married 
again,  and  again  she  was  taken  from  him  by  death  ;  a  third  time  he 
took  a  companion,  and  she  died  ;  and  last  of  all  he  too  passed  away.

ent of  the  mill  at  Stafford  Hollow,  of  which  he  was  part  owner, 
but  after  a  few  years  he  sold  out  and  assumed  the  duties  of 
agent  of  the  stone  mill  at  Rockville,  from  thence  he  removed  to 
South  Willington,  where  he  built,  and  equipped  a  factory  for  manu- 
facturing cotton  wadding,  which  was  afterwards  changed  into  a  thread 
factory,  having  two  partners  ;  afterwards  he  removed  to  Willimantic 
and  became  superintendent  of  the  new  thread  mill,  which  he  con- 
ducted with  such  success,  that  the  firm  built  another  mill,  the  larg- 
est and  best  in  the  country,  and  tenement  houses,  all  out  of  the 
profits  of  the  previous  seven  years.  Mr.  Hall  then  went  again  to 
South  Willington  and  formed  a  business  partnership  with  his  son 
Gardner  Hall,  Jr.,  and  his  son-in-law,  John  Champlin,  for  the  man- 
ufacture of  cotton  thread,  and  the  firm  succeeded  in  building  up  a 
large  and  successful  business.  During  Mr.  Hall's  residence  in  Wil- 
lington he  has  represented  the  town  in  the  Legislature,  and  served  a 
term  as  county  commissioner;  and  also  held  other  offices  of  honor 
and  trust.  He  was  a  man  of  fine  abilities,  strict  integrity,  a  kind 
neighbor,  and  withal  very  benevolent.  His  remains  were  brought 
to  Willimantic  for  interment.      He  left  a  wife  and  five  children.

the  basis  of  his  theological  views  and  Christian  teaching  in  his  official 
life;  in  i8u,he  began  the  study  of  Latin  in  company  with  his 
brother  Silas  and  life  long  friend  Willis  Hall  ;  they  had  the  privi- 
lege of  a  select  school  in  their  own  district,  winters,  generally  taught 

by  a  college  graduate,  and  during  the  summer  of  ,  Edwin  and 

Willis  walked  two  miles  five  days  in  a  week  to  recite  Latin  to 
Henry  Slade,  a  law  student,  at  Granville  corners  ;  they  commenced 
the  study  of  Virgil  in  1813,  but  during  that  year  Edwin's  father  was

summer.  His  father  had  designed  to  send  him  to  Dartmouth  College, 
but  on  his  death,  plans  were  of  necessity  changed,  therefore  Edwin 
abandoned  study  and  went  to  work  on  the  farm,  left  by  his  father, 
which  was  to  be  his  own  ;  in  18 18,  he  taught  school  in  a  back  dis- 
trict of  his  native  town  at  eight  dollars  a  month  ;  the  next  year  he 
applied  for  a  school  in  another  back  district  at  nine  dollars  a  month, 
but  was  refused  as  being  too  young  •,  he  immediately  started  for 
the  west  district  of  the  next  town  on  the  west,  Hartford,  and 
made  an  engagement  to  teach  there  at  eleven  dollars  a  month, 
half  money  and  half  corn  ;  in  those  districts  school  teachers 
boarded  gratuitously-  at  the  houses  of  the  children  ;  this  district 
was  the  native  place  of  Hosea  Bullou,  for  a  long  time  during  the 
first  half  of  this  century  the  great  champion  and  oracle  of  Universalism 
in  New  England  ;  here  young  Hall  was  constantly  assailed  with  the 
doctrine  in  the  families  where  he  boarded  ;  this  led  him  to  search 
the  Bible  for  the  purpose  of  defending  himself  from  such  assaults; 
for  he  was  then,  as  ever  afterwards  ready  to  contend  earnestly  for 
the  faith  in  which  he  had  early  been  instructed. 

The  next  winter  he  taught  school  in  Whitehall,  twelve  miles  from 
home,  where  he  had  two  uncles  ;  there  he  had  one  hundred  and 
twenty-three  scholars.  After  serving  out  his  term  of  six  months  he 
returned  home  and  to  work  on  the  farm  ;  soon  after  which  a  revival 
of  religion  commenced,  of  which  he  was  a  subject  ;  he  was  at  once 
active  and  zealous  in  persuading  others  to  come  to  Christ ;  but  his  pur- 
pose of  making  farming  his  life  work  was  not  unchanged,  until  Willis 
Hall  returned  from  his  first  year's  study  in  Middlebury  College  and

found  his  friend  Edwin  over  the  hill,  a  mile  from  the  house,  with  a 
yoke  of  cattle  drawing  stone  for  a  wall  fence;  here  he  laid  it  on 
Edwin's  conscience  with  earnest  and  convincing  words  that  it  was 
his  duty  to  enter  at  once  upon  a  course  of  study  in  preparation  for 
the  ministry.  Here  was  an  unconverted  man  preaching  duty  most 
eloquently  and  successfully  to  a  christian  ;  and,  although  it  cost  that 
christian  a  great  sacrifice,  he  yielded  to  the  dictates  of  duty  ;  and  in 
three  weeks  they  both  set  out  together  for  Castleton  Academy  ; 
Willis  to  prepare  to  enter  as  sophomore  at  Yale,  and  Edwin  as  fresh- 
man at  Middlebury.  They  boarded  and  slept  together  ;  here  they 
were  under  the  tuition  of  Mr.  Howe,  previously  a  tutor  in  Middle- 
bury  College,  an  accomplished  teacher,  who  had  some  twenty  stu- 
dents preparing  for  college  ;  of  these  eight  took  the  valedictory  or 
highest  honor  at  different  colleges ;  four  at  Middlebury,  two  of 
whom  were  Edwin  Hall  and  his  cousin  John  M.  Parker,  afterward 
Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  New  York  ;  two  at  Yale,  Willis 
Hall  and  Rev.  Dr.  Henry  A.  Boardman,  of  Philadelphia  ;  one  at 
Williams,  and  one  at  the  University  of  Vermont.  Rev.  Dr.  Co- 
nant,  the  famous  Bible  translator,  was  also  one  of  Mr.  Howe's  stu- 
dents at  this  time.  At  the  close  of  the  school  year  Edwin  Hall 
passed  the  best  examination,  and  out  of  all  the  brilliant  galaxy  of  his 
associate  students  was  honored  with  the  valedictory  oration.  During 
the  year  he  had  worked  two  months  at  home  in  harvest,  and  in  the 
remaining  ten  months  he  had  read  the  whole  of  Virgil,  thirteen  ora- 
tions of  Cicero,  the  Graca  Minora,  the  whole  of  the  Greek  testa- 
ment and  two  books  of  Homer,  and  was  ready  at  examination  to 
recite  any  part  of  it  as  fluently  as  his  spelling  book.  This  is  beyond 
the  power  of  any  to  do  except  prodigies  of  genius.  In  1822,  at 
the  age  of  20  years,  he  entered  Middlebury  College.  The  same 
zeal  and  amazing  capacity  for  successful  study  followed  him  there. 
He  not  only  mastered  the  studies  in  the  college  course,  but  also 
studied  French,  German,  Spanish,  Hebrew  and  extra  mathematics. 
His  linguistic  genius  displayed  itself  in  reading  a  book  in  Italian 
without  grammar  or  dictionary.  But  his  zeal  consumed  him.  He 
suffered  a  profuse  bleeding  of  the  lungs  ;  he  then  gave  up  whatever 
he  did  not  regard  as  essential  to  the  work  of  the  ministry.  Half  of 
his  freshman  year  he  spent  at  Castleton  in  assisting  Mr.  Howe  in 
the  academy,  at  the  same  time  studying  more  than  his  college  course 
required.      His  extra  studies  during  the  freshman  year  were  Curtin's 


Halls  of  Tar  mouth.  275 

History  of  Alexander  in  Greek,  Herodotus;  Longinus,  Lucretius' 
deNatura  Puram,  Ovid's  Metamorphoses,  and  Blair's  Rhetoric. 
During  his  sophomore  year  he  carried  off  the  honors  awarded  to  that 
class.  Towards  the  close  of  his  junior  year  he  accepted  an  invita- 
tion to  teach  the  academy  at  Norwalk,  Conn.,  at  a  salary  of  $450  a 
year.  Willis  Hall  had  recommended  his  friend  Edwin  to  be  his  suc- 
cessor as  u  the  only  scholar  he  could  never  beat,  but  who  always 
beat  him"  At  this  academy,  besides  teaching  successfully  the  studies 
preparatory  to  entering  college,  he  also  taught  studies  en'irely  new  to 
him,  which  he  of  course  had  first  to  study  up  for  himself.  He  also 
fully  kept  up  his  college  studies.  It  is  not  strange  that  at  the  end  of 
the  second  quarter  he  found  his  strength  failing  and  sought  to  be 
released  by  the  trustees.  To  this  they  reluctantly  consented.  He 
immediately  returned  to  college,  where  his  health  suffered  severely 
during  the  remainder  of  the  academic  year.  At  the  close  of  his 
college  course  he  received  the  highest  honor  of  his  class,  some  of 
whom  became  eminent  men,  and  one  of  them  president  of  the  Sen- 
ate of  the  United  States.  He  prepared  his  valedictory  oration  and 
jt  was  accepted  bv  the  faculty.  Being  thus  free  for  the  vacation 
allowed  his  class  immediately  preceding  their  graduation,  and  being 
much  in  need  of  funds,  he  engaged  to  work  on  a  farm  at  $14  a 
month.  But  almost  immediately  he  was  seized,  at  Whitehall,  with 
hemorrhage  of  the  lungs,  brought  very  low,  and  on  commencement 
day  was  not  expected  to  live.  His  oration  was  read  by  a  classmate. 
The  older  physicians  pronounced  his  case  hopeless,  when  we  find 
that  he  fell  into  the  hands  of  a  young  physician,  who  bled  him  in 
both  arms  till  he  fainted,  and  then  nearly  starved  him.  This,  with 
many  like  occurrences  in  his  life,  show  his  great  stock  of  inherent 
vitality.  His  bleeding  continued  by  turns*  for  nearly  three  months. 
All  hope  of  his  being  ever  able  to  preach  was  abandoned  by  himself 
and  his  friends  ;  but  finding  it  necessary  to  do  something  to  get  bread 
he  took  the  academy  at  St.  Albans,  Vt.;  he  was  still  unable  to  read 
so  much  as  one  verse  in  the  Bible  aloud.  His  school,  though  at 
first  small,  grew  to  be  a  large  one.  Before  the  end  of  the  year, 
however,  he  was  appointed  a  tutor  in  Middlebury  College,  which  he 
accepted,  and  gave  the  entire  instruction  to  the  freshman  class,  hear- 
ing three  recitations  daily.  During  the  year  he  spent  at  Middle- 
bury  College  as  tutor,  he  pursued  a  course  of  theological  studies  ac- 
cording to  the  sylabus  of  Dr.  Leonard  Woods,    Prof,    of  Theology

at  Andover,  also  considerable  Hebrew.  And  being  examined  b) 
Drs.  Beman  and  Tucker,  of  Troy  was  licensed  to  preach  the  gos- 
pel by  the  Presbytery  of  Trov. 

He  then  engaged  the  Middlebury  Academy  for  two  years,  during 
which  time  he  preached  almost  every  Sabbath  mostly  in  destitute 
churches  for  which  he  scarcely  received  twenty  dollars.  And  he 
received  calls  to  several  important  pulpits  in  Vermont  which  he  de- 
clined to  accept.  He  purposed  to  go  west,  but  before  he  was  ready, 
he  accepted  an  invitation  to  preach  as  stated  supply  at  Glens  Falls 
and  Sandy  Hill,  N.  Y.,  on  the  Hudson.  His  short  ministry  was 
much  blessed  and  attended  with  a  revival,  in  which  he  was  assisted  by 
young  ministers  from  among  his  former  associates.  He  and  another 
started  on  a  missionary  tour  to  Chester,  thirty  miles  off,  in  what  was 
then  a  lumber  region  near  the  head  of  Lake  George.  On  their  way  they 
stopped  at  Caldwell,  at  the  head  of  the  lake,  and  county  seat  of  Warren 
county,  where  there  was  not  a  praying  man  nor  any  stated  public 
worship,  the  Methodists  having  been  even  stoned  away.  Mr.  Hall 
preached  in  the  Court  House  which  was  filled  with  people,  a  revival 
began  and  a  church  was  organized.  Mr.  Hall  afterwards  often 
visited  and  preached  for  this  people,  and  when  once  going  to  the 
place  he  was  thrown  from  his  horse  and  dragged  with  his  foot  in  the 
stirrup  expecting  every  moment  to  be  killed,  but  no  man  is  immortal 
until  his  work  is  done,  he  was  rescued  very  providentially,  but  no 
longer  able  to  preach.  Just  then  he  accepted  an  invitation  from  the 
Presbytery  of  Newark  to  teach  their  academy  at  Bloomfield.  Here 
his  health  improved  and  he  often  preached  in  New  York  and  also  in 
the  neighboring  towns.  Among  his  pupils  in  this  school  were  Chief 
Justice  Whelpley,-  of  New  Jersey  and  Rev.  Dr.  M.  W.  Jacobus, 
professor  in  Alleghany  Theological  Seminary  and  the  author  of  notes 
on  the  New  Testament,  and  the  last  moderator  of  the  Old  School 
General  Assembly  previous  to  its  union  with  the  New  School.  But 
when  Mr.  Hall's  time  of  service  was  ended  and  he  wished  to  seek 
for  a  pastorate  and  he  was  about  to  start  for  the  west,  he  received  an 
invitation  from  his  old  friend  Hon.  Clark  Bissell  of  Norwalk  to 
come  there  and  preach  as  a  candidate.  He  left  Bloomfield  for  this 
purpose  March,  1832.  The  result  was  that  he  was  soon  unanimously 
called  to  be  the  pastor  of  that  ancient  and  important  congregation  and 
was  duly  settled  July  18,  1832.  The  old  church  and  congregation 
of  Norwalk  planted  as  far  back  as  1650  was  one  of  the  very  oldest 
largest  and  most  respectable  in  the  county  and  state.     It  had  enjoyed

a  succession  of  eminent  pastors.  This  u  Prime  Antient  Society  " 
(by  which  appellation  it  was  known  on  its  own  records)  had  been 
wont  to  have  among  its  leaders,  men,  who  were  leaders  elsewhere, 
as  statesman  and  jurists.  At  the  time  Dr.  Hall  was  pastor,  there 
were  several  such,  one  of  whom  was  Judge  Bissell  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  governor  of  the  State  and  professor  of  law  in  Yale  College. 
He  joined  the  church  in  May,  1837.  Another  was  Thaddeus  Betts 
second  only  to  Roger  M.  Sherman  at  that  bar,  if  indeed  he  was  second  ; 
he  was  elected  to  the  senate  of  the  United  States  in  1839  and  had 
become  a  communicant  in  Mr.  Hall's  church  Nov.,  1837.  Another 
was  Thomas  B.  Butler  afterwards  chief  justice  of  the  State.  He 
was  a  friend  to  Mr.  Hall  and  never  failed  to  testify  to  the  profit  he 
gained  from  his  pastors  preaching  enforced  by  his  life.  He  joined 
the  church  later  in  life.  Still  another  gifted  man  the  Hon.  O.  S. 
Ferry  who  sat  ten  years  under  Mr.  Hall's  preaching  and  became  a 
communicant,  while  yet  in  his  early  prime  he  was  sent  to  the  United 
States  senate,  and  died  there  during  his  second  term.  All  these  men 
honored  Mr.  Hall  and  never  hesitated  to  avow  the  satisfaction  and 
profit  they  derived  from  his  ministrations.  But  if  Mr.  Hall  had  such 
men  at  the  summit  as  his  parishioners  he  had  also  all  gradations  and 
varieties  to  all  of  whom  he  made  his  ministrations,  both  profitable  and 
acceptable.  His  sermons  were  scriptural,  instructive,  fresh,  plain,  clear, 
earnest,  pointed  and  pithy,  convincing  and  persuasive,  and  thus  made 
their  way  to  the  popular  heart.  In  prayer  he  was  simple,  fervent, 
devout  and  importunate.  His  forte  was  especially  the  opening  out 
of  the  scriptures  in  their  endless  relations  and  applications  for  the 
guidance  and  conversion  of  perishing  men,  and  the  edification  of 
believers  in  Christian  knowledge  and  holiness.  He  devoted  special 
attention  to  the  thorough  instruction  of  the  young  especially  Sabbath 
school  teachers,  injthe  Bible  and  to  indoctrinate  them  in  the  shorter 
catechism.  In  this  work  he  was  very  successful,  as  a  result  he 
enjoyed  special  outpourings  of  the  Holy  Spirit  every  third  year  of  his 
ministry  which  usually  began  in  his  classes  of  young  people  thus 
instructed.  In  performing  pastoral  duties  he  neglected  no  house 
or  person  on  account  of  disagreeable  circumstances  ever  adapt- 
ing himself  to  the  humble  and  ignorant.  He  was  tender  and  sympa- 
thizing with  the  afflicted  and  disconsolate. 

He  left  more  than  a  thousand  written  sermons,  besides  a  large 
number  of  plans  and  skeletons,  as  monuments  of  his  diligence,  to 
which  must  be  added  a  vastly  greater  number  of  unwritten  discourses

and  addresses  whose  only  record  is  in  the  hearts  and  lives  of  those 
who  felt  their  power.  He  delivered  many  powerful  discourses  and 
addresses,  some  of  which  were  among  the  stirring  printed  tracts  of 
the  time,  and  made  himself  powerfully  felt  in  behalf  of  temperance 
and  education.  It  was  a  great  ministry  ;  and  great  were  its  fruits  ; 
and  many  were  its  seals  ;  he  united  a  large  congregation  when  he 
came,  he  left  it  still  larger  and  no  less  united.  No  man  can  stay  in 
such  a  congregation  twenty-three  years  with  such  results  who  is  not 
high  above  the  average  of  his  profession.  He  was  generally  calm  in 
his  manner  of  speaking  in  the  later  period  of  his  pastorate,  owing  to 
the  restraint  which  he  felt  necessary  to  impose  upon  himself  in  order 
to  avoid  jvertaslcing  his  lungs  ;  his  voice  was  loud  and  clear,  but 
not  disagreeable  to  the  ear  ;  his  calmness  of  utterance  was  not  owing 
to  any  want  of  impassioned  temperament,  sometimes  he  would  seem 
to  forget  his  self  restraint  and  burst  forth  upon  an  audience  in  a 
torrent,  nay  cataract  of  wt  thoughts  that  breathe  and  words  that  burn." 
On  one  occasion  in  the  general  association  of  Connecticut,  he  be- 
came thoroughly  roused  in  view  of  indifference  on  the  part  of  some 
to  what  he  and  others  deemed  assaults  on  the  very  fundamentals  of 
the  gospel,  Rev.  Dr.  Hewit,  himself,  when  at  his  best  a  prince 
among  orators,  said,  he  had  heard  the  greatest  of  the  orators  in  the 
English  parliament  and  our  own  congress,  and  he  had  never  heard 
any  higher  eloquence  than  in  this  speech  of  Dr.  Hall's.  While  at 
Norwalk,  Dr.  Hall  wrote  and  published  three  books  j  one  was  a 
history  of  the  town  with  genealogies  of  families.  Another  was  an 
exposition  of  the  law  of  baptism  as  respects  mode  and  subjects,  it 
was  written  as  a  defense  against  the  attacks  of  a  baptist  minister  in 
a  neighboring  congregation.  The  other  was  a  defense  against 
"  efforts  made  to  proselyte  his  young  people  into  other  folds,  on  the 
ground  that  the  religious  body  to  which  they  belonged  was  not  a 
true  church  and  had  no  valid  ministry,  sacraments,  or  Christian 
rites,"  the  book  is  "  The  Puritans  and  their  Principles."  These  books 
became  very  popular  and  gave  their  author  a  high  reputation  as  a 
distinguished  theologian  and  an  expert  and  powerful  controvertiona- 
list.  He  also  distinguished  himself  in  the  trial  concerning  Dr. 
Bushnell's  book  entitled  "  God  in  Christ."  He  stood  high  in  -i is 
ecclesiastical  connection  among  his  brethren,  not  as  the  result  of 
place,  seeking  or  self  seeking,  but  it  was  the  result  of  those  qualities 
which  are  sure  to  press  their  possessor  to  the  front  ;  his  great  ability, 
wisdom,   judgment,    candor,    consecration    to    his    Masters    cause,

quickly  lifted  him  up  to  a  place  among  the  leaders  to  whom  the 
people  and  churches  by  a  sort  of  instinct  look  up,  and  on  whom  they 
lean  as  pillars. 

Dr.  Hall  was  pastor  of  the  First  Congregational  church,  Norwalk, 
Conn.,  from  1832  to  1855,  when  he  removed  to    Auburn,    N.    Y., 
in  obedience  to  an  earnest  call  from  the   board    of  commissioners    of 
Auburn  Theological  Seminary,  and  was  inaugurated  to  the  chair    of 
Christian  Theology,  June   20,    1855.      He    applied    himself  to    his 
work  with  characteristic  thoroughness  and  fidelity.      His  classes  were 
taught  to  state  the  doctrines  of  revelation  in  the  words  of  the  church 
symbols,  and  were  drilled  with  unwearied  patience  in  the    citation  of 
scripture  proofs.      His  annual  examinations    as    well   as    the  trials  of 
his  students  for  licensure  and  ordination  proved  in  these   respects    pe- 
culiarly satisfactorv  to  the  presbyteries.      Within  a    few    years    after 
entering  on  his  work,  Prof.  Hall  prepared  and  printed  for  the  use    of 
his  classes  his  4t  Digest  of  Studies  and  Lectures    in    Theology,"    an 
admirable  and  extended  sylabus,  setting  forth    with    great    simplicity 
and    precision    the    connected    truths    of    Divine    revelation.      This 
work  has  been  translated  into    the    Chinese    tongue    as    the    ground 
work  for  theological  instruction  in  China  and  Japan.      In  addition  to 
his  digest  Prof.  Hall  left  in  readiness  for  the  press  a    controversional 
treatise  on  metaphysics  and    outlines    in    natural    theology.      In  the 
class  room  he  was  punctual,  strict  and   somewhat    impatient    of  dul- 
ness  or  frivilous  opposition,  quick    and    sharp    in    reply,    but    genial, 
familiar  and  always  ready  to  encourage  a  manly  independence  in    his 
pupils.      Towards  the  students,  in  their  various  difficulties  and  wants, 
he  displayed  the  warmest  interest  ;    he  taxed  his  ingenuity'  and    influ- 
ence to  provide  for  their  comfort.      He    had    friends    of  large    pecu- 
niary ability,  on  whom  he  did  not   hesitate  to    call    for    aid    in    their 
behalf,  and  such  was  the  confidence  reposed  in   his  wisdom    and    in- 
tegrity that  he  never  called  in  vain.      Prof.  Hall  kept  his    own    mind 
fresh  by  constant  study,  and  was  abreast    of  the    progress    of  philo- 
sophical and  theological  science  throughout   the    world.      His    piety, 
the  crowning  grace  of  his  character,  was  deep,   tender    and    reveren- 
tial ;   his  religious  addresses  to  the    students    were    models    of  afFec- 
tionate  simplicity.      Rev.  Dr.    Atwater,    Prof,    of  Princeton    Theo- 
logical Seminary,  and  an  intimate  friend  of  Prof.  Hall,  says  of  him  ; 
His  great  ability  as  a  thinker,  scholar  and    theologian,     his    eminent 
fidelity,  judgment,  tact  and  success  as  a  pastor,  preacher,  teacher  and

professor  ;  his  inflexible  adherence  to  truth  ;  his  firm  conscientious- 
ness and  loyalty  to  his  convictions,  with  catholic  charity  for  those 
in  dissent  from  him,  his  exemplary  purity  of  life  and  manners,  coupled 
with  humble  and  serene  hope  in  Christ,  brightened  to  the  last  his  path- 
way to  the  grave,  where  death  itself  dies  ;  these,  and  other  traits,  which 
I  need  not  specify,  bound  him  fast  in  the  friendship  of  the  truest  men 
and  servants  of  Christ,  and  made  him  a  valient,  trusted  and  influential 
leader  in  the  church.  Prof.  Hall  served  the  seminary  with  such 
strict  fidelity  that  at  the  end  of  twenty  years  he  had  not  failed  to 
meet  his  classes  at  every  lesson.  In  November,  1875,  he  was  af- 
fected with  a  slight  paralytic  shock,  from  which  he  so  far  recovered 
as  to  continue  giving  instruction  to  his  classes  till  the  close  of  the 
seminary  year,  May,  1876,  after  which  he  retired  from  the  active 
duties  of  the  seminary,  receiving  the  title  of  Emeritus  Professor  in 
May,  1876.  The  only  landed  property  he  owned  at  his  death  was 
a  lot  in  the  cemetery.  On  the  7th  of  September,  1877,  he  rode  to  the 
cemetery  and  other  places,  with  the  two  daughters  of  Dr.  Edwards 
Hall,  to  the  eldest  of  whom  he  had  committed  just  before,  the  youth- 
ful and  more  mature  correspondence  of  his  life  long  friend  Willis 
Hall.  That  evening  he  retired  to  rest  as  usual,  but  awoke  at  10 
o'clock  with  an  oppression  of  the  lungs.  He  was  conscious  that 
the  time  of  his  end  on  earth  had  come,  and  rejoicing  rather  than 
fearing,  he  gradually  subsided  into  the  repose  of  death.  He  ceased 
to  breath  at  3  o'clock  in  the  morning.  It  is  remarkable  that  the 
death  of  his  friend  Willis  Hall  was  very  similar  to  his  own  in  its 
cause  and  suddenness  ;  the  time  of  their  last  hours  being  from  10  P.

went  south,  while  there  he  taught  school  one  year,  in  Macon,  Geo. 
His  health  having  improved  he  returned  to  the  north  and  taught 
school  twelve  years,  at  south  Norwalk,  Conn.,  at  North  Green-

Fairfield  Teachers'  Institute,  and  the  first  vice-president  of  the 
Teachers'  State  Society,  and  at  the  same  time  kept  a  day  and  board- 
ing school.  This  was  taxing  his  strength  too  much,  besides  being 
too  much  confined,  and  his  health  failed,  and  for  the  sake  of  out  door 
exercise,  he  engaged  for  two  years  in  traveling  as  an  agent  for  Mark 
H.  Newman,  of  New  York,  in  the  book  business.  He  then  pur- 
sued the  study  of  medicine,  and  graduated  at  Yale  Medical  Depart-

Society.  In  185 1,  he  removed  to  Rosendale,  Fondulac  Co.,  Wis., 
where  he  established  himself  in  the  practice  of  his  profession.  He 
also  keeps  a  drug  store,  and  is  the  post  master  of  Rosendale.  His 
health  is  better  than  when  at  the  ^ast,  and  his  weight  has  increased 
from  130  to  160  lbs.  He  is  a  sociable  companion,  a  true  friend,

Walker,  of  Whiting,  Vt.,  cousin  to  Lucy.  Mr.  Hall  went  to 
Rochester  in  1828,  and  became  associated  with  Samuel  Chipman  in 
the  publication  of  a  religious  paper  ;  the  next  year  he  became  con- 
nected with  the  Third  Presbyterian  church,  and  was  one  of  the 
earliest  members;  the  record  of  the  Sunday  school  showing  that  he 
was  an  active  and  earnest  worker  ;  he  was  the  first  secretary  and 
treasurer,  and  once  or  twice  chosen  superintendent.  While  en- 
gaged in  printing  he  pursued  theological  studies,  and  fitted  himself 
for  the  avocation  of  a  preacher,  and  in  1835  was  ordained  and  be- 
came pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  church  of  Penfield.  In  February, 
1840,  he  succeeded  Rev.  Mr.  Mack  as  pastor  of  the  Third  church 
of  Rochester,  and  continued  to  hold  that  position,  and  a  high  place 
in  the  affections  of  his  congregation,  and  the  respect  of  all  christian 
people,  until  the  time  of  his  death.  The  church  had  suffered  many 
vicissitudes  and  many  pastoral  changes  up  to  the  period  when  he  was

installed,  but  has  steadily  prospered  from  that  time.  No  one  was 
more  respected  and  esteemed  as  a  man  and  a  minister;  he  was  recog- 
nized as  a  large-hearted  and  liberal  minded  pastor,  and  his  discourses 
were  characterized  bv  great  vigor  of  thought  and  the  thoroughness 
of  their  logic.  Dr.  Hall  was  very  prominent  in  the  labors  which  led 
to  the  re-union  of  the  two  branches  of  the  Presbvterian  church  ;  in 
the  consumation  of  which  he  greatly  rejoiced.  His  circle  of  ac- 
quaintances outside  his  own  church  and  congregation  was  very  large, 
and  all  who  knew  him  will  mourn  his  loss  as  a  wise  and  good  man. 
The  funeral  ceremonies  were  conducted  by  ministers  of  several  de- 
nominations of  christians  on  Tuesday  afternoon.  The  sermon  was 
preached  by  Rev.  Dr.  John  C.  Lord,  of  Buffalo,  from  II  Timothy, 
iv.,  7,  "  I  have  fought  a  good  fight  ;  I  have  kept  the  faith."  The 
following  are  a  few  extracts  from  it  :  "  Your  late  lamented  pastor 
possessed,  in  an  eminent  degree,  that  courage  which  enabled  him  to 
lead  rather  than  to  follow  public  opinion,  which  led  him  to  embrace 
and  defend  a  position  independent  of  its  popularity.  Many  a  time 
in  this  city  has  he  stood  almost,  if  not  altogether,  alone  in  opposition 
to  men  and  measures,  with  rare  courage,  resisting  even  the  prevalent 
feeling  in  his  own  congregation,  while  the  event  has  ordinarily  proved 
his  sagacity  and  increased  his  influence."  Mr.  Lord  here  probably 
refers  more  particularly  to  Mr.  Hall's  opposition  tw  Rev.  Charles  G. 
Finney  and  his  measures.  Mr.  Finney  had  held  a  protracted  meet- 
ing in  this  church  previous  to  Mr.  Hall's  settlement,  the  effect  of 
which  was  very  great.  And  Mr.  Hall's  power,  as  well  as  courage, 
is  fully  demonstrated  by  his  success  in  opposing  Mr.  Finney's  meas- 
ures in  the  very  center  of  such  influence.  "  Dr.  Hall  was  abhor- 
rent of  cant  and  pretentious  claims  to  superior  sanctity  ;  his  flashing 
eye  and  stern  rebuke  have  often  put  to  silence  the  ignorance  of  fool- 
ish men.  A  man  of  full  statue  himself,  he  loved  manliness  in  others, 
and  always  respected  an  opponent  who  met  him  with  a  constancy 
and  courage  like  his  own.  With  an  ardent  temperament,  and  liable 
to  be  greatly  heated  in  debate,  he  cherished  no  resentments  He 
was  placable,  compassionate,  a  lover  of  good  men,  and  a  friend  of 
all.  With  the  appearance  at  times  of  sternness,  he  had  a  most 
genial  nature  ;  he  was  a  companionable  and  generous  man,  a  fast 
friend,  and  a  heart  and  hand  open  as  the  day  to  melting  charity."  Dr. 
Hall  was  a  man  who  never  shunned  any  conflict  where  truth  and 
righteousness  were  involved  ;  he  did  not  stop  to  enquire  as  to  the 
ability  of  his  adversary  or  to  the   probable  results  of  his   antagonism. 


284  Hall  Genealogy. 

He  held  firmly  to  the  old  Presbyterian  maxim — "  duties  are  ours, 
events  are  God's."  He  was  no  dumb  dog  that  could  not  bark  ;  he 
was  no  careless  watcher  on  the  walls  of  Zion  ;  he  blew  the  trumpet 
of  warning  with  no  uncertain  sound;  and  when  he  heard  the  in- 
quiry of  the  watchman,  u  What  of  the  night  ?"  he  ever  replied  with 
cheerful  confidence,  "  The  morning  cometh."  If  any  man  in  wes- 
tern New  York  has  steadily  kept  the  faith  without  wavering,  without 
fear,  without  discomfiture,  that  man  was  Dr.  Hall.  He  was,  as  a 
debator,  always  influential,  sometimes  stormy,  often  eloquent  ;  in 
the  pulpit  stern  and  logical,  joining  together  his  premises  and  his  con- 
clusions by  an  iron  chain  which  could  not  be  broken." 

[Extracts  from  the  remarks  of  Rev.  D.  McLaran,   of  Caladonia,  who  knew  Mr.  Hall  long 

and  well] 

"  One  of  the  admirable  elements  in  Dr.  Hall's  character  was  his 
sincerity  ;  he  hated  pretence.  In  all  he  did,  all  he  promised,  all  he 
thought,  he  was  sincere.  He  was  a  plain,  unpretending,  upright, 
true-hearted  man.  As  a  man,  as  a  christian,  as  a  minister  of  Christ, 
as  a  sound  theologian,  as  an  able  defender  and  expounder  of  the 
truth,  as  a  faithful  preacher  of  the  everlasting  gospel,  as  a  judicious, 
sympathizing  pastor,  Dr.  Hall  was  entitled  to  the  confidence  and 
love  of  our  race.  Intellectually  he  was  no  ordinary  man  ;  quick  in 
perception,  and  penetrating  in  discernment,  he  saw  at  a  glance  the 
state  of  the  question,  and  seldom  failed  to  decide,  with  readiness  and 
correctness,  on  which  side  the  truth  lay.  He  was  ingenious  in  the 
detection  of  error,  and  successful  in  its  refutation  ;  bold  in  proclaim- 
ing the  truth  and  fearless  in  its  defence.  If  he  did  not  always  have 
his  harness  on,  he  had  it  always  at  hand,  and  could  don  it  at  will; 
what,  though  like  Saul's  armor,  it  was  large  and  heavy,  he  fitted  it 
well,  and  handled  it  with  ease,  and  never  better  nor  to  more  effect 
than  when  his  cause  was  most  surrounded  with  difficulties,  and  his 
opponent  most  strongly  intrenched;  it  was  the  truth  for  which  he 
fought  and  not  the  defeat  of  an  opponent  ;  it  was  the  exposure  of 
error  and  the  confounding  of  iniquity,  and  not  the  illumining  of  his 
own  name  ;  he  loved  the  old  truths  and  order  and  ways  of  the  church  ; 
he  loved  them  for  their  own  sake  and  their  Master's  sake,  and  wholly 
irrespective  of  popular  suffrage ;  he  cared  little  for  popular  favor 
whenever  it  placed  itself  in  competition  to  truth  and  righteousness. 
Allow  me  to  say,  that  after  a  quarter  of  a  century  acquaintance  with 
the  subject  of  these  remarks,  and  a  long  and   extensive   acquaintance 


Halls  of  Tarmouth.  285 

with  the  cultivated  minds  of  eastern  and  western  New  York,  I  am 
fully  persuaded  of  the  opinion  that  Albert  G.  Hall  possessed  one  of 
the  finest  intellects  and  kindest,  truest  spirits  of  our  Empire   State.'' 

[Extracts  from  the  Presbyterian  of  Sept.  27,  1871.] 

His  mind  was  logical,  his  style  terse  and  concise,  with  little  rhetoric, 
he  was  clear  and  definite  in  his  statements,  apt  in  illustration  and 
forcible  in  his  appeals.  During  his  earlier  ministry  the  clearness  and 
the  strength  of  his  own  convictions,  with  surrounding  circumstances, 
forced  him  into  the  arena  of  religious  contest,  though  his  position 
was  negative  rather  than  positive  ;  of  defence  rather  than  of  attack. 
He  was  decidedly  but  intelligently  conservative,  firm  as  adamant  in 
adhering  to  his  views  of  truth,  and  stood  a  rocky  rampart,  almost 
alone,  between  his  church  and  what  he  deemed  dangerous  errors. 
And  after  the  storms  of  feeling  were  over,  the  churches  of  this  region 
testified  to  his  wisdom  by  returning  to  the  truths  and  the  methods, 
to  which  he  always  had  anchored.  He  once  told  me  "threats  and 
bribes  never  moved  me,  but  it  was  hard  to  bear  the  entreaties,  and 
the  upbraidings  of  Christians  whom  I  loved."  No  ordinary  mind 
could  have  withstood  such  a  pressure. 

[Extracts  from  the  Tribute  of  a  Friend,  signed  J.  D.  H.] 

Dr.  Hall  was  no  ordinary  man  ;  he  was  an  intellectual  giant,  with 
such  mental  integrity  that  logical  deduction  seemed  of  spontaneous 
growth  ;  his  vigorous  virtue  begat  peculiarity  of  thought  and  in- 
flexibility of  purpose,  modest  to  a  degree,  he  was  nevertheless,  a 
positive  character;  all  truly  great  men  are  peculiar.  No  threats, 
nor  storms,  nor  blandishments  could  induce  him  to  yeild  an  iota  of 
principle  ;  he  was  firm  to  the  borders  of  self-sacrifice,  in  support  of 
his  religious  views  and  doctrines.  His  sermons  were  models  of  clear 
thought,  logical  deductions,  instructive  theology  and  practical  wisdom, 
enforced  by  genuine  pathos,  many  of  them  were  bold  and  original 
in  conception  and  design,  and  always  self-sustained.  When  recently 
he  visited  San  Francisco  the  stern  and  honest  orthodoxy  of  this 
Christian  minister  in  its  simple  purity  drew  crowds  of  eager  auditors 
from  that  heterogeneous  population  ;  he  said  of  himself,  "  I  have 
always  tried  to  preach  the  gospel  of  Jesus,  pure  and  simple,  and 
nothing  else."  He  was  always  a  genial  and  delightful  companion  ; 
and  a  truer,  safer  friend  never  trod  the  earth,  save  only  his  Divine 
Lord.  It  must  not  be  imagined  that  he  ever  lacked  the  most 
generous  impulses  of  the  soul,  indeed  his  sympathies  were  so  great,

and  easily  touched,  that  he  had  a  peculiar  dread  of  exhibiting  emotion 
lest  he  might  be  overcome  and  appear  unmanly.  At  times  apparent 
indifference  was  the  result  of  real  deep  seated  tenderness  pent  up  at 
the  fountain;  his  large  symetrical  form  contained  a  heart  from  which 
streams  of  love  flowed  far  beyond  its  boundaries  ;  his  was  a  heart  in 
which  children  and  childrens'  children  have  often  disported  themselves 
in  childhoods  own  joyousness.  A  biography  of  his  home  life  would 
disclose  elements  of  lovliness  of  character,  depth  of  devotion,  in- 
stances of  discerning  delicacy,  that  would  surround  his  name  with 
golden  beauty  ;  in  his  home  life  he  shone  with  a  luster  of  which  the 
world  knew  but  little  ;  he  was  the  most  watchful,  tender,  self- 
sacrificing,  and  far  sighted  parent,  and  grand  parent.  Children

Feb.  6,  1856,  she  lives  with  her  mother  in  Lyons,  Wayne  Co., 
N.  Y.  Mr.  Hall  was  a  skillful  and  beloved  physician  of  Rochester. 
The  peculiar  characteristics  of  his  boyhood  were  filial  love,  benevo- 
lence and  gratitude,  and  these  traits  grew  and  ripened  with  his  growth, 
until  in  manhood,  they  drew  around  him  very  many  devoted  friends. 
He  made  a  profession  of  his  faith,  and  was  admitted  to  his  father's 
church  at  the  age  of  sixteen  years.  He  possessed  an  unusually  bright 
and  active  mind,  and  spent  his  youth  in  the  acquisition  of  those  full 
stores  of  knowledge  which  so  eminently  qualified  him  for  future  use- 
fulness. He  graduated  at  Union  College  in  1850  and  immediately 
applied  himself  to  the  study  of  medicine,  and  received  the  degree  of 
M.D.  at  the  New  York  Medical  College,  in  1854,  and  in  the 
spring  of  the  same  year  opened  an  office  for  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession in  Rochester  and  obtained  full  employment.  He  was  highly 
esteemed  by  the  public,  as  well  as  by  his  professional  brethren  as  a 
learned  and  honorable  physician.  To  his  patients  he  was  peculiarly 
endeared  as  well  by  the  tender  sympathy  he  manifested,  as  by  the 
confidence  which  his  skill  inspired.  He  served  nine  months  in  the 
war  for  the  Union  as  surgeon  of  the  140th  Reg.  N.  Y.  Vols.,  and 
was  present  doing  duty  at  the  Battle  of  Fredericksburgh.  On  the 
25th  of  Feb.,  1869,  he  was  obliged  to  remain  at  home  on  account 
of  an  attack  of  rheumatism,  which  was  supposed  to  be  slight  ;  the 
disease  however  developed  an  inflammatory  type,  and  from  day  to 
day  increased  in  severity  until  he  died,  in  a  little  over  one  week.  He 
died  in  the  fulness  of  his  usefulness,  and  his  loss  was  deeply  felt.

294  Hall  Genealogy. 


THE  POSTERITY  OF  W'd  MARY  HALL, 

OF  CAMBRIDGE  AND  CONCORD,  MASS. 

Widow  Mary  Hall,  is  first  mentioned  by  William  Wilcox  of 
Cambridge,  in  his  will  made  1653;  m  which  he  bequeaths  her  20 
shillings,  and  to  her  son  William  and  daughter  Susan  10  shillings 
each. 

She  was  a  member  in  full  communion  of  the  church  of  Cambridge 
when  William  Wilcox  made  his  will,  as  he  calls  her  "  Sister  Widow 
Hall.  And  Rev.  Mr.  Mitchell  in  his  new  roll  of  members  after  the 
church  records  were  burned  in  1658,  makes  mention  of  Widow 
Mary  Hall,  as  a  member  in  full  communion,  and  adds  that  her 
children  being  of  adult  years  when  she  was  admitted,  were  not  bap- 
tized, of  whom  two,  John  and  Susanna  have  since  been  admitted  to 
the  church  of  Concord. 

In  1662  Widow  Mary  Hall  received  a  grant  of  land  from  the  town 
of  Cambridge. 

Her  son  William  having  died  in  1667,  she  petitioned  the  court  to 
order  a  division  of  his  property  for  her  benefit.  It  appears  from  the 
papers  found  in  the  probate  office  at  Cambridge,  that  she  had  as- 
signed her  property  to  her  son  William  in  consideration  of  her  sup- 
port during  her  life,  and  that  she  lived  with  him  in  Concord  at  the 
time  of  his  death. 

The  paper  was  found  on  an  upper  shelf,  filed  with  several  others 
"No.  11-1688,  10-5,  petition  of  Mary  Hall  of  Concord,  mother  of 
William,  deceased."  The  1688  might  have  been  intended  for  1668. 
The  paper  seems  to  have  been  made  by  an  attorney,  but  signed  by 
her  own  hand  very  plainly  without  any  ornamentation,  and  giving 
evidence  that  she  was  accustomed  to  use  her  pen. 

It  is  not  known  who  her  husband  was,  but  tradition  asserts  that  he 
came  with  his  family  in  the  same  ship  with  his  brother  John,  to 
Charlestown,  Mass.,  in  1630,  descendants  of  the  two  families,  settled 
in  Sutton,  Mass.,  and  in  Granville,  N.  Y.,  have  claimed  a  relation- 
ship to  each  other.     There  is  no  name  of  Hall,  on  any  of  the  early 


Halls  of  Cambridge  and  Concord.  295 

records  of  Massachusetts  which  gives  any  probability  of  being  his, 
except  that  of  "  Mr.  Nathaniel  Hall  "  to  whom  the  town  of  Dor- 
chester assigned  Sept.  1,  1634,  a  lot  of  three  acres  which  had  been 
previously  assigned"  to  Capt.  Lovell.  This  is  the  only  time  that  the 
name  of  "  Mr.  Nathaniel  Hall"  is  mentioned  in  any  of  the  records. 
The  honorable  prefix  of  Mr.  (which  was  accorded  to  only  a  very 
few)  shows  that  he  held  a  very  respectable  rank  in  society. 

The  names  of  the  children  of  Widow  Mary  Hall  appear  to  have 
been  as  follows:  1.  John,  b.  about  1626  or  7  (See  Halls  of  Med- 
ford).  2.  Susanna,  member  of  the  church  of  Concord.  3.  Wil- 
liam who  lived  in  Concord  in  1653,  and  m.  there  Oct.  14,  1758, 
Sarah  Merriam  and  d.  March  10,  1667,  leaving  no  children.  4. 
Stephen,  who  lived  in  Concord  :  m.,  Dec.  3,  1663,  and  removed  to 
Stow  (See  Halls  of  Stow)  ;  and  it  is  somewhat  probable  that  Isabel 
Hall  who  m.  Francis  Whitmore,  of  Cambridge,  b.  1625,  was  the 
dau.  of  Widow  Mary  Hall.  Francis  Whitmore  was  a  kinsman  to 
Thomas  Whitmore  or  Wetmore  who  m.  Sarah,  dau.  of  John  Hall 
of  Middletown,  Conn. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  something  more  may  be  found  in  the  records 
ot  Massachusetts,  concerning  Widow  Mary  Hall  and  Mr.  Nathaniel 
Hall.  Perhaps  something  satisfactory  might  be  found  in  the  records 
of  Coventry,  Warwickshire,  England. 

If  any  doubt  should  arise  on  examining  the  records  of  Coventry 
concerning  Widow  Mary  Hall  or  Mr.  Nathaniel  Hall  having  lived 
there,  the  records  of  St.  Edmuns  Berry  where  William  Wilcox  came 
from,  and  where  Bishop  Joseph  Hall  lived,  might  be  examined  with 
a  possibility  of  success. 

The  Hall  family  of  Warwickshire  is  not  as  old  a  family  as  that  of 
Kent.

HALLS    OF  MEDFORD. 

(PART  FIRST.) 

The  emigrant  ancestor  was 

{Family  1.)  John  Hall1,  son  of  Widow  Mary  Hall,  of  Cambridge. 
He  was  born  in  England,  1627;  died  in  Medford,  Mass.,  Oct.  18, 
1701,  ae.  74  years  ;  m.,  April  2,  1656,  Elizabeth,  dau.  of  Percival 
and  Ellen  Green,  of  Cambridge.  John  Hall  took  the  oath  of  fidelity 
in  Middlesex  Co.,  1652,  and  in  the  same  year  the  town  of  Cambridge 
apportioned  to  him  20  acres  of  church  land  in  Billerica.  He  resided  in 
Concord,  Mass.,  several  years  previous  to  1667  when  he  returned  to 
Cambridge,  and  in  1675  removed  to  Medford,  about  eight  miles  from 
Boston,  where  he  purchased  a  farm  of  Caleb  Hobert,  June  27,  1675, 
and  gave  a  mortgage  on  it  the  same  day  for  £260,  and  which  he  paid 
May  2,  1 68 1.  y(<     c-nr^^s-J  /(^XC-     ^     U  <r6  *~*-vv 

The  records  of  Medford  begin  in  1674,  but  very  little  is  written 
before  1677,  when  John  Hall  was  chosen  constable  and  selectman, 
which  at  that  time  were  the  most  important  offices  of  the  town. 

Dea.  Thomas  Willis  and  John  Hall  were  chosen  selectmen, 
March  12,  1690.  In  1699  John  Hall  made  his  will,  dividing  his 
large  landed  estate  between  hia  sons,  who  were  to  pay  his  daughter's 
portions  in  money,  and  his  widow  Elizabeth  had  rights  reserved  for 
her  during  her  life,  and  had  the  use  of  a  portion  of  the  house  and 
cellar  ;  Stephen  and  Thomas  had  the  house  and  land  near  it ;  the 
house  was  situated  a  few  rods  east  of  the  railroad  depot  in  West 
Medford,  and  was  demolished  many  years  ago,  and  the  old  cellar 
filled  up  in  1876;  Daniel  A.  (Gleason  who  married  a  descendant  of 
John  Hall,  owns  a  house  and  lot  in  Medford  near  where  the  old 
house  stood. 

In  the  old  burying  ground  in  Medford,  is  a  thick  slate  grave- 
stone about  as  wide  as  it  is  high,  and  arched  at  the  top,  in  the 
arch  is  a  death's  head,  under  which  stands  an  hour  glass,  flanked  by 
two  winged  figures  ;  at  one  of  the  upper  corners  is  written  "  Me- 
mento Mori,"  at  the  other  "  Fugit  hora,"  and  on  the  body  of  the 
stone  is  engraved  as  follows  : 


Halls  of  Medford  {Part  First).  297 

"  Here  lies  the  body  of  John  Hall,  aged  74  years, 

Disd  the  18th  of  Oct.,  1701. 

The  memory  of  the  Just  is  blessed." 

By  the  side  of  this  stone  is  another  on  which  is  engraved  "  In 
memory  of  Elizabeth,  wife  of  John  Hall,  who  died  Feb.  4,  1 7 13,  in 
the  74th  year  of  her  age." 

And  on  the  other  side  of  the  first  mentioned  stone  is  a  smaller  one 
"  In  memory  of  William  Hall  aged  19  years  who  died  Jan.  4,  1683." 

For  these  descriptions  and  others  in  Medford  grave  yard,  we  are 
indebted  to  Miss  Lydia  R.  Stone,  of  Medford.

on  Willis  family).  Percival  Hall,  of  Medford,  owned  the  covenant 
of  tbe  church  of  Cambridge  in  order  to  have  his  children  baptized; 
and  son  Percival  was  baptized  Nov.  20,  1698  ;  he  and  his  wife  were

founders  of  the  church  of  Medford,  Feb.  11,  17  13,  and  was  chosen 
deacon  in  place  of  his  father-in-law  Thomas  Willis,  who  resigned 
on  account  of  old  age,  March  9,  1720.  He  was  proprietor  of  Sutton 
in  1720,  and  removed  to  that  place  in  the  fall  of  1720,  or  in  the 
following  spring;  was  dismissed  from  the  church  of  Medford,  Dec. 
3,  1721,  and  with  his  wife  was  admitted  to  the  church  of  Sutton,

that  church  ;  he  became  a  very  prominent  and  efficient  man  in  both 
church  and  town  affairs.  He  appeared  to  be  the  chief  means  of 
the  settlement  of  his  kinsman  Rev.  David  Hall,  from  Yarmouth, 
over  the  church  of  Sutton  ;  he  was  a  very  large  landed  proprietor,

Those  of  his  posterity  who  feel  an  interest  in  having  a  suitable

of  Sutton,  on  the  subject.      His  children  were  : 


Note.  The  Willis  Family.  The  name  is  written  on  the  records  of  Cambridge,  Willow, 
Willows,  and  Willoes,  the  name  should  be  spelled  Willow,  and  is  quite  another  name  than 
Wyllys,  which  is  generally  spelled  Willis.  But  his  descendants  prefer  to  be  called  Willis 
rather  than  Willow.  George  Willow  (Willis)  the  emigrant  ancestor  was  born  in  England 
about  1 60a,  and  came  to  Cambridge  about  1628,  although  the  formation  of  the  town  was  not

Willis  and  wife  Jane  were  members  of  the  church  of  Cambridge  in  full  communion  before 
1658,  when  the  church  records  were  burned.  He  made  his  will  Sept.  17,  1690,  and  it 
was  probated  Oct.  7,  1690.  He  left  two  sons,  1.  Thomas,  b.  Dec.  28,  1638;  2.  Stephen,

in  Billerica  several  years  and  removed  to  Medford  before  171 3  when  he  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  church,  and  was  chosen  its  fir.'t  deacon.  He  died  Aug.  14,  1725.  His

education  ;  she  contributed  poetry  to  the  newspapers  in  1822  ;  she 
afterwards  published  books  of  poetry,  one  of  which  is  Joanna  of  Na- 
ples ;   her  father  removed  to  Worcester  in  1831. 

The  following  sketch  of  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hall's  life  is  selected 
from  his  biography,  published  in  a  small  volume  of  his  sermons: 

"Edward  Brooks  Hall  was  born  in  Medford,  Sept.  2,  1800  ;  and 
was  named  from  his  maternal  grandfather  Rev.  Edward  Brooks,  of 
North  Yarmouth.  He  was  a  lineal  descendant  of  Rev.  John 
Cotton,  who  was  the  second  minister  of  the  first  church  in  Boston. 
As  a  boy  his  whole  heart  was  given  to  play;  but  in  Nov.,  18 15,  he 
found  his  mother  very  desirous  that  he  should  go  to  college,  and  ac- 
cordingly made  an  immediate  and  entire  change  in  his  habits.  Al- 
though his  father's  house  stood  on  the  square,    where   the   voices    of 


Halls  of  Medford  {Second  Part).  3  1 3 

his  companions  could  assail  him  with  frequent  temptation,  he  shut 
himself  up  with  a  determination  to  fit  himself  for  Harvard  in  nine 
months.  His  teacher,  Mr.  Convers  Francis,  told  him  it  was  almost 
impossible  ;  but  he  accomplished  it,  and  entered  college  honorably  in 
the  following  August;  so  passed  out  of  boyhood  with  the  conscien- 
tious perseverance  which  marked  his  whole  after  life.  Reserved  in 
his  habits,  because  compelled  to  study  closely  for  all  that  he  gained,- 
he  formed  few  intimacies  ;  but  Rev.  Dr.  Furness,  Rev.  Dr.  Gan- 
nott  and  Rev.  Calvin  Lincoln  were  classmates,  for  whom  his'attach- 
ment  only  increased  with  years.  While  in  college  he  found  "his  af- 
fections strongly  drawn  toward  the  study  of  divinity,  but  he  was  in- 
duced to  become  a  teacher  for  a  year,  in  a  place  called  Garrison 
Forest,  about  ten  miles  from  Baltimore,  "a  happy  year"  he  always 
called  it.  We  find  this  entry  in  his  private  note  book  :  "lam  now 
at  Cambridge,  studying  divinity— the  study  of  all  others  most  im- 
portant, the  solemnity  and  awful  responsibility  of  which  I  fear  I 
have  not  sufficiently  felt.  I  tremble  to  think  I  may  bring  to  the 
altar  of  God  unfit  bonds  and  earthly  affections."  And  throughout 
his  private  notes  we  find  continual  utterances  of  the  deepest  humility 
with  supplications  for  divine  help. 

On  being  approved  for  the  ministry  he  writes  "  How  is  it  that  I 
can  summon  courage  to  engage  in  the  public  duties  of  my  profession, 
I  hardly  know,  I  seem  to  be  urged  on  by  some  singular  impulse.  I 
still  hope  and  pray  that  I  may  be  made  better  by  the  very  duties 
before  me,  and  do  resolve  firmly  and  humbly,  that  I  will  henceforth 
do  all  I  can  to  advance  the  interests  of  true  religion."  On  the  16th 
of  Aug.,  1826,  he  was  ordained  over  the  new  Unitarian  Society  in 
Northampton,  their  first  pastor  ;  his  ordination  having  been  delayed 
some  months,  by  his  ill  health.  Here  he  preached  for  three  years, 
during  which  his  appearance  is  thus  described  by  one  who  heard  him 
often  :  «  We  recall  with  gratitude  to-day  the  pleadings  of  his  mild 
voice,  and  the  pathos  of  his  invalid  appearance  ;  for  his  face  glowed 
with  a  half  consumptive  hectic,  round  which  a  halo  of  light  and 
curling  hair  played  in  clusters;  tall  and  thin,  he  seemed  to  us  preach- 
ing over  his  own  grave,  and  to  bring  a  solemnity  and  directness  to 
the  work  which  one  soon  to  pass  within  the  veil  might  naturally  use." 
On  the  30th  of  Oct.,  1826,  he  was  married,  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Kirk- 
land,  to  Harriet  Ware,  a  worthy  member  of  a  family  distinguished  for 
intellect  and  goodness.  His  health  failing  again,  he  was  compelled 
to  resign  his  parish,  to  quit  the  warm  friends  he  had  made  and  leave

his  wife  with  her  two  young  children  to  struggle  bravely  with  many 
difficulties  ;  he  went  to  Cuba  with  his  younger  brother,  the  late  Rev. 
Nathaniel  Hall,  of  Dorchester,  whose  conscientious  purpose  to  quit 
a  business  life  for  the  ministry  he  had  heartily  encouraged.  Benefitted 
in  health  he  reached  home  just  in  time  to  look  once  more  on  the 
face  of  his  first  born,  a  beautiful  boy,  only  two  years  old,  already  laid 
in  his  coffin.  He  then  went  with  his  wife  to  Cincinnati  where  he 
took  charge  of  the  Unitarian  Society  for  nearly  a  year  with  great 
acceptance  ;  there  his  son  Edward  Henry  was  born,  now  pastor  of 
a  Unitarian  Society  in  Worcester,  Mass.  He  was  preaching  for  a 
time  at  Grafton,  Mass.,  where  he  had  formed  a  church,  when  he 
received  a  call  from  the  First  Congregational  Society  of  Providence, 
R.  I.,  with  some  misgivings  as  to  his  strength  for  such  labor,  he 
accepted  it  and  was  installed  Nov.  4,  1832.  PVom  that  time  his  in- 
defatigable devotion  to  work  was  seldom  interrupted  by  ill  heath  ; 
although  he  had  destroyed  hundreds  of  his  early  sermons,  he  left 
many  hundreds,  a  large  portion  of  which  he  had  preached  only  once, 
or,  at  most,  twice,  during  his  long  ministry;  with  all  his  writing  he 
kept  up  with  the  times  in  reading,  and  was  a  thorough  pastor,  visiting 
his  people  so  familiarly  and  genially  that  he  became  the  sharer  of  their 
joys  and  sorrows,  and  was  always  to  be  found  beside  the  sick,  the 
anxious  and  the  bereaved  ;  no  fear  of  infection  kept  him  from  those 
suffering  from  terrible  and  contagious  maladies.  His  own  domestic 
trials  were  not  few  ;  not  long  after  settling  in  Providence,  he  buried 
two  young  sons  ;  and  in  June,  1838,  his  noble  wife  was  taken  from 
him  by  an  illness  of  a  few  hours  only,  leaving  as  mourners  all  who 
knew  her. 

In  Oct.,  1840,  he  married  Louisa  Jane,  the  eldest  dau.  of  Dr. 
John  Park,  of  Boston,  whose  able  labors  had  a  decided  and  permanent 
influence  on  female  education  in  that  city,  and  who  then  had  retired 
to  Worcester  ;  by  her  he  had  one  dau.  named,  Harriet  Ware,  still 
living.  In  1850,  he  was  sent  as  delegate  to  the  peace  convention  at 
Frankfort  on  the  Maine,  and  returned  to  watch  the  decline  of  a 
most  promising  son  just  entering  manhood  ;  on  the  day  of  the 
funeral,  the  last  day  of  Dec,  he  said  quietly  "  To  speak  to  my  people 
will  be  my  duty  and  my  comfort  ;  "  and  went  from  the  cemetery  intc 
the  pulpit  to  preach  his  customary  occasional  sermon,  made  more 
impressive  by  the  tokens  of  his  suppressed  grief.  The  community 
in  which  he  lived  recognized  his  wisdom  and  fidelity,  so  that  his 
advice  was  much  sought,  and  his  time  often  claimed  by  duties  outside 


Halls  of  Medford  {Part  Second).  3 1 5 

of  his  profession  ;   he  served  for  twenty   years  on  the  school  com- 
mittee, and  was  one  of  the  trustees  of  the  noble   Brown  University, 
though  holding  different  religious  opinions  from  his  brother  officers. 
He    aided    his    first    wife    heartily    in   establishing    the  Employment 
Society,  still   thriving  ;   he  was  almost  the  father  of  the   Ministry  at 
Large,  still  doing  its  blessed  work  ;  he  was  the  warm  friend  of  another 
Harriet    Ware  (bearing  the  same   name,  though  not   related  to  his 
wife),  who   from   humble  beginnings,  founded   what  is  now  the  ad- 
mirable   Home  for    Friendless    Children,  the    Shelter    of   Colored 
Children,  the  Bethel,  the  Home  for  Aged  Females,  in  short,  almost 
every  good    work   undertaken  in  the    prosperous  and  generous  com- 
munity, had  the  benefit  of  his  counsel  and  zealous  aid.    A  clergyman 
who  came  a  stranger  to  the   city   remarked   "  I  cannot  inquire    into 
one  of  your  many  charities  without  finding  Dr.  Hall  concerned  in  it." 
He  was  once  president  of  the    American    Unitarian    Association, 
and  while  entirely  free  from  sectarian  bitterness,  always  just    to   an- 
tagonists, and  cherishing  personal  friendships  with  members  of  other 
denominations,  he  wrote  some  doctrinal  tracts — one  "  On  the  Atone- 
ment," "  What  is  it  to  be  a  Unitarian  ?"  which  are  still    considered 
able  and  useful ;   he  preached  anti-slavery    when    it   was   unpopular  ; 
law  and  order  when  the  State  of  Rhode  Island  was  torn  with  popular 
discord  ;  temperance,  righteousness  and  judgment   to   come,   at    all 
times,  boldly  ;   and  when  the  great  rebellion  broke  out  he   cheerfully 
consented  that  his  two  remaining  sons,  both    of  whom    had    entered 
the  ministry,  should  expose  themselves  in  the  good  cause.      William 
Ware  Hall,  the  youngest,  took  a  fatal  cold  at    Newbern,   and   fell  a 
victim  to  hardships  his  constitution  could  not  endure  ;  although,  after 
leaving  the  army,  he  taught  faithfully  at  St.  Helena,  in  spite   of  suf- 
fering ;   he  came  home  in  August,  1864,  only  to  die  ;   he  was  greatly 
beloved,  and  his  father  mourned  as  he  had  only  once  mourned  before, 
yet  he  still  set  the  example  of  that    christian   resignation    he   taught. 
Although  of  grave  aspect,  and  always,  in  the  pulpit  and  out,  bearing 
with  him  much  personal  dignity,  Dr.  Hall  was  of  a  joyous  tempera- 
ment, sustained  by  a  deep  undercurrent    of  pious  faith  ;  he   believed 
that  Christianity  must  make  the  heart  glad  ;  so  his  winning  smile  and 
cheerful  words  rendered  him    always    welcome    to    young    and    old. 
Under  his  influence  and  encouraged  by  his  enthusiasm   for    his    pro- 
fession, a  number  of  young  men  were  led,  at  different  times,  to  enter 
the  ministry  ;   and  of  those  eight  went  from  his  societv  in  Providence. 
In  theology  he  was  emphatically    a   liberal   conservative,   resting  his 


3 1 6  Hall  Genealogy. 

faith  on  the  gospel,  and  looking  to  Jesus  Christ  as  his  master.  He 
once  remarked,  "  I  believe  that  I  hold  the  truth,  at  least  I  cannot 
see  things  differently,  but  I  know  that  I  am  fallible,  and  that  others 
may  have  got  hold  of  the  truth,  which  I  have  not."  Therefore, 
although  he  sometimes  grieved  over  what  seemed  to  him  errors,  he 
never  allowed  himself  to  feel  anger  or  contempt  for  those  who  hon-  t 
estly  differed  from  him  ;  of  old  orthodoxy  or  young  radicalism  he 
never  spoke  with  harshness,  only  with  regret  and  hope.  In  October, 
feeling  the  infirmities  of  age  and  ill  health,  he  thought  some  younger 
man  would  serve  the  congregation  better,  and  therefore  announced 
that  he  should  resign  his  pastorate  at  the  end  of  April  next  ( 1 866)  ; 
he  consequently  made  preparations  for  leaving  the  parsonage.  He 
had  once  remarked,  u  I  should  like  to  die  in  this  house,  and  pastor  of 
this  people."  It  did  not  seem  as  if  the  wish  would  be  granted  ;  but 
his  sight  was  now  failing  rapidly,  and  he  had  nocturnal  attacks  of 
faintness,  but  no  palpitation  of  the  heart.  On  returning  from  church 
on  the  last  night  of  the  year,  it  was  Sunday,  he  thus  wrote  in  his 
note  book,  "  A  solemn  thought  that  this  is  probably  the  last  time  I 
shall  ever  hold  this  service  as  pastor  ;  in  two  hours  as  eventful  a 
a  year  as  I  ever  have  known,  publicly  or  privately,  will  close  its 
record  ;  God  forgive  the  sins,  and  accept  the  feeble  services  of  this 
year,  and  my  life.      Farewell  to  1865." 

In  January,  1866,  his  physician  forbade  him  to  use  his  eyes- 
None  who  heard  him  can  forget  the  impressiveness  of  his  service, 
when  on  two  successive  Sundays,  having  committed  the  hymns  and 
chapters  to  memory,  and  preached  extempore,  he  went  through  the 
whole  without  book  or  note.  His  last  text  was  from  his  Master's 
words  "  Judge  not  "  and  most  fervently  did  he  enjoin  upon  his 
people  to  suspect  no  man's  motives,  and  to  judge  charitably  of 
words  and  actions.  His  distress  for  breath  continued  to  increase,  and 
the  doctors  on  consultation  decided  that  he  had  enlargment  of  the 
heart.  He  received  this  unexpected  intelligence  with  perfect  calm- 
ness, and  although  not  expecting  to  die  so  soon  he  made  preparation 
for  that  event.  His  last  act  was  about  three  o'clock  in  the  after- 
noon of  March  3,  1866,  when  he  dictated  a  letter  giving  the  copy 
right  of  his  memoir  of  Mary  Ware,  to  the  American  Unitarian 
Association,  signing  blindly  but  legibly.  He  then  insisted  on  his 
wife  retiring  to  get  some  sleep,  seeming  much  distressed  about  her 
broken  nights,  and  she  left  him  with  his  daughter.  As  he  was  sit- 
ting in  an  armed  chair  and  had  repeated  two  or  three  verses  of  favorite 


Halls  of  Medford  [Part  Second).  3 1 7 

hymns  with  great  difficulty,  when  his  daughter  saw  a  change  pass 
over  his  face  ;  he  sprang  up  and  before  she  could  reach  him,  the  life 
had  gone  out  from  his  eyes  and  he  fell  senseless  on  the  floor  of  that 
study,  where  he  had  so  happily  toiled  for  nearly  thirty  years;  the 
laboring  heart  had  stopped  ;  he  had  left  all  pain  and  sorrow  behind 
and  gone  to  work  for  God  and  his  Master  in  joy  everlasting  ;  his 
wish  had  been  granted,  for  he  had  died  in  that  house  and  pastor  of 
that  dear  people.      His  children  were:

his  early  struggle  between  conscience  and  lucrative  business,  is  given 
by  his  brother,  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hall  :  "  He  chose  a  calling  which 
gave  him  early  success  and  promised  an  ample  fortune  ;  but  it  en- 
slaved him,  and  worse,  it  asked  him,  and  employers  expected  him 
to  let  nothing  stand  in  the  way  of  sordid  gain  for  them  and  him  ;  no 
rest,  no  duty,  no  improvement  of  intellect  or  heart,  scarcely  the 
Sunday  season — never  the  question  of  conscience — no,  never  the 
abstraction  of  right  or  wrong,  against  custom  and  against  advantage ; 
he  would  not  brook  it ;  he  loathed  and  left  it ;  men  called  him  a 
fool ;  but  he  became  a  freeman  ;  no  longer  a  slave  of  the  world,  he 
became  a  servant  of  men  and    of  God."     During   the  last   year  or

years  ;  he  was  called  Stephen  Hall,  Jr.,  because  he  had  an  uncle 
Stephen  ;  he  was  associated  with  his  cousin  Stephen  Hall,  3d,  as 
administrator  of  the  estate  of  his  uncle  Lt.  Stephen  Hall;  he  was 
representative  of  Medford  from  1763  to  1770  ;  in  a  deed  given 
18 10,  by  his  son  Willis  to  his  daughter  Elizabeth  Jngraham,  he

Stearns  of  College  Hill,  Medford,  has  in  her  possession  articles  of 
silver  which  formerly  belonged  to  Stephen  Hall,  among  which,  I

Fourth  Generation. 

(Family  ioo.)  Willis  Hall4,  Stephen3,  John*,  John1  :  b.  Aug. 
20,  1733  ;  d.  1813  ;  m.  Sarah  (probably)  Holmes,  of  Keene,  N.  H.; 
d.  Nov.  11,  1790;  residence  Medford,  and  was  an  intimate  friend 
of  Col.  Isaac  Royal,  an  English  gentlemen  of  Medford,  who  fled 
to  Canada  after  the  battle  of  Bunker  Hill,  1776,  whose  property 
Dr.  Tufts  and  Col.  Willis  Hall,  managed  to  save  from  confiscation 
College  Hill  is  a  part  of  it,  where  Col.  Hall's  posterity  still  own  a 
beautiful  mansion.  Col.  Hall  through  the  influence  of  Col.  Royal, 
was  almost  or  quite  a  royalist  at  the  time  of  the  Revolution.  The  fol- 
lowing is  an  extract  from  a  letter  from  Col.  Royal  to  Dr.  Tufts,  dated 
Kensington,  April  12,  1 779,  "  I  doubt  not  that  you  and  Mr.  Hall  and 
the  rest  of  my  friends,  will  do  all  in  your  power  to  procure  me  liberty 
from  General  Court  to  return  home  as  soon  as  my  health  will  admit 
of."  Col.  Willis  Hall  is  represented  to  have  been  a  large,  courtly 
man,  and  possessed  of  an  imperious  will.  He  represented  Medford  for 
several  years.  His  estate  was  administered  upon  by  his  daughter 
Mary  and  her  husband  Dr.  Luther  Stearns  in  her  right ;  she  paid  to 
Ann  and  Sarah  on  account  of  board  and  care  of  their  father  Willis, 
$161.50;  paid  George  H.  Hall,  balance  of  note  due  from  estate 
$92  93  ;  paid  Elizabeth  Ingraham,  claim  against  the  estate,  $82.20.

fine  culture,  delicate  sensibility  and  great  liberality  ;  his  sudden  death 
in  the  prime  of  life,  left  his  family  in  straitened  circumstances.

Sixth  Generation. 

(Family  104.)  George  Luther  Stearns6,  Mary  Hall5,  Willis4, 
Stephen3,  John2,  John1:  b.  Jan.  8,  1809  ;  d.  April  9,  1869,  in  New 
York  ;  m.  1ST,  about  1838,  a  dau.  of  Samuel  Train,  of  Medford  ;  d.

of  Hon.  Warren  Preston,  of  Bangor,  Me.,  who  survives  him  and 
has  kindly  sent  me  many  particulars  of  his  life;  much  more  than 
there  is  space  to  give  in  this  book.  He  was  only  12  years  of  age 
when  the  family  were  left  in  straitened  circumstances  by  the  death  of 


Halls  of  Med  ford  [Part  Fourth).  337 

his  father.  On  this  account  he  was  obliged  to  give  up  his  expecta- 
tion of  obtaining  a  liberal  education,  but  was  permitted  to  attend 
school  for  two  years  more,  by  spending  his  play  hours  at  work.  At 
the  age  of  14  he  was  placed  in  a  mercantile  house  in  Boston  as  a 
clerk.  Here  he  followed  the  dictates  of  conscience  implicitly  through 
self-denials  and  hardships,  and  was  enabled  to  withstand  the  false 
allurements  of  city  life  and  the  tricks  of  trade.  He  served  as  clerk 
for  20  years,  then  he  became  a  partner  in  the  firm  of  Albert  Fear- 
ing &  Co.  As  a  business  man  he  was  successful  and  became  the 
head  of  a  firm  for  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  goods.  His  maxim 
was  :  "Material  prosperity  is  the  legitimate  offspring  of  truth  and 
honesty."  He  was  probably  a  ship  chandler.  His  success  in  busi- 
ness gave  him  the  means  of  indulging  his  fine  taste  as  well  as  be- 
nevolent desires,  and  never  did  any  good  cause  turn  away  from  him 
unassisted.  His  residence  in  Medford  (College  Hill),  was  a  model 
of  refinement,  liberality  and  republican  dignity ;  exiles  for  civil 
or  religious  freedom  found  a  home  under  his  hospitable  roof;  states- 
men and  scholars  took  counsel  around  his  board;  struggling  genius 
found  the  helpful  benefactor  and  friend  ;  orphan  boys  and  girls  the 
education  for  useful  life  ;  the  sick  and  suffering  a  never  failing 
friend  ;  the  hunted  fugitive  slave  and  refugee  a  tower  of  strength. 
His  sympathy  was  with  all  people  or  person^  suffering  from  oppres- 
sion. He  gave  liberally  and  labored  still  more  efficiently  in  their 
behalf.  Thus  he  aided  the  Italians,  the  Greeks,  the  Crctes  ;  and 
it  was  while  securing  aid  for  this  last  cause  among  the  merchants  of 
New  York,  during  a  snow  storm,  that  he  took  cold  which  caused  his 
death.  But  his  main  effort  was  for  the  oppressed  of  our  own 
country,  for  which  he  labored  incessantly  for  the  last  12  years  of 
his  life. 

He  threw  his  whole  energies  into  the  Kansas  struggle  and  con- 
tributed many  thousand  dollars  in  support  of  the  cause  of  freedom 
in  that  territory.  It  was  in  this  struggle  that  he  became  acquainted 
with  John  Brown,  in  whom  he  had  confidence  and  whom  he 
aided  both  by  his  influence  and  by  abundant  pecuniary  means  ;  also 
he  gave  him  some  $7,000,  just  previous  to  his  raid  upon  Harper's 
Ferry,  but  was  ignorant  of  his  plan,  which  he  would  not  have 
approved.  It  was  Mr.  Stearns'  nomination  of  his  friend  Charles 
Sumner,  which  brought  that  remarkable  man  before  the  people  and 
his  energy  which  made  him  the  successful  candidate  for  Webster's 
seat  in  the  senate;  and  when  Mr.  Sumner  was  struck  down  in  the 
senate  chamber,  May  24,  1856,  and  the  village  of  Lawrence,  Kansas 
22

was  sacked,  the  same  week ;  Mr.  Stearns  put  on  his  armor  for  the 
conflict,  which  he  never  laid  aside  until  the  victory  was  won.  When 
the  war  began  in  1861,  he  was  persuaded  that  it  would  be  a  long 
and  difficult  struggle,  and  it  would  be  necessary  to  call  for  the  aid  of 
colored  soldiers,  and  he  was  almost  alone  in  advocating  it,  which 
he  did  in  his  paper  "  The  Common  Wealth."  Finally  when  the 
legislature  gave  Gov.  Andrews  permission  to  recruit  colored  troops, 
no  man  could  be  found  to  do  it.  Mr.  Stearns  received  the  commis- 
sion to  enlist  a  colored  regiment,  and  in  six  weeks  he  brought  two 
regiments  into  Boston,  the  famous  54th  and  55th.  Mr.  Steam's 
afterwards  recruited  colored  soldiers  in  Philadelphia  and  in  Tennessee^ 
under  a  United  States  commission,  with  the  rank  of  major,  without 
pay.  He  never  received  a  cent  in  any  way  for  his  services,  but 
spent  some  $30,000  per  year  in  the  cause.  In  four  months  he  had 
ten  regiments  in  the  field.  He  expected  that  the  emancipation  act 
would  naturally  follow  giving  the  blacks  the  arms  and  the  flag  of  the 
nation.  He  also  established  schools  and  asylums  for  them  in  Nash- 
ville, and  the  last  time  he  went  to  his  office  in  Boston,  was  to  send 
$100  to  aid  establishing  a  negro  orphan  asylum  in  New  Orleans. 
Such  was  his  benevolence,  his  unselfish  purpose,  his  intelligence, 
his  zeal,  his  knowledge  of  men  and  business,  and  his  magnetic 
power,  that  he  became  successful  in  his  influence  among  all  classes 
of  people.  Even  Secretary  Chase  appreciated  his  financial  ability 
and  availed  himself  of  his  counsel  in  time  of  perplexity.  So  also 
Secretary  McCullough.  And  it  was  said  of  him  that  his  presence 
at  any  given  point  in  the  army  was  worth  a  1000  men.  But  it  is 
remarkable  that  his  success  did  not  in  the  least  modify  his  bearing, 
or  paff  him  with  pride,  his  soul  was  in  the  cause  and  not  in  his  own 
aggrandizement.  And  perhaps  it  is  more  remarkable  that  he  should 
also  enjoy  his  home  so  much  and  render  its  inmates  so  happy.  At 
his  funeral  and  afterwards,  poets  and  orators  eulogised  him  in  the 
highest  strains. 

The  following  extract  from  a  poem  by  Whittier,  is  a  specimen. 

He  has  done  the  work  of  a  true  man, — 

Crown  him,  honor  him,  love  him. 
Weep  over  him,  tears  of  woman, 

Stoop  manliest  brows  above  him  ! 

O  dusky  mothers  and  daughters, 

Vigils  of  mourning  keep  for  him  ! 
Up  in  the  mountains,  and  down  by  the  waters, 

Lift  up  your  voices  and  weep  for  him! 


Halls  of  Medford  [Part  Fifth).  339 

For  the  warmest  of  hearts  is  frozen, 

The  freest  of  hands  is  still ; 
And  the  gap  in  our  picked  and  chosen 
The  long  years  may  not  fill. 

No  duty  could  overtask  him, 

No  need  his  will  outrun  ; 
Or  ever  our  lips  could  ask  him, 

His  hands  the  work  had   done. 

He  forgot  his  own  soul  for  others, 
Himself  to  his  neighbor  lending; 

So  the  bed  was  sweet  to  die  on, 

Whence  he  saw  the  doors  wide  swung. 

Shall  he  not  hear  the   blessing, 
"  Good  and  faithful,  enter  in !" 

Children  were  : 

I.  Henry,  when  17  years  old  enlisted  100  colored  troops  in  St.

Medford  in  the  2d  and  3d  provincial  congress,  and  also  a  delegate 
to  the  convention  in  1780,  for  making  the  constitution  of  Massachu- 
setts, and  a  justice  of  the  peace  ;  he  had  some  pecuniary  difficulty 
with  John  Bishop,  which  resulted  in  having  most  or  all  of  his  lands 
taken  away  from  him  by  execution  ;  his  widow  obtained  her  dowry 
from  it,  May  29,  1800.  This  Stephen  Hall  was  appointed  adminis- 
trator of  his  father's  estate  (Lt.  Stephen  Hall),  with  his  cousin    Ste-

phen  Hall,  Jr.;  many  have  supposed  that  this  cousin  was  the  son  of 
Lt.  Stephen  Hall,  probably  from  the  fact  that  he  was  called  Jr.,  but 
this  simply  indicated  "the  younger"  and  not  "the  son  ;"  the  son 
was  youngfr  than  the  Jr.,  and  was  called  <c  Tertius,  3d,"  and  in 
later  years  "  old  Tertius,"  and  finally  he  was  called  Stephen  Hall,  Sen.

in  searching  original  records,  and  has  thus  corrected  some  funda- 
mental mistakes  made  by  several  of  the  best  genealogists  at  and  near 
Boston,  in  reference  to  his  Hall  pedigree.  There  were  so  many 
Hall's  by  the  name  of  Stephen,  that  it  required  much  time,  and 
patient  and  interested  research  by  a  clever  head,  in  order  to  clear  up 
the  almost  certain  confusion.  The  friends  of  history  and  genealogy, 
especially  those  of  his  own  line,  owe  him  many  thanks;  he  has  also 
sent  me  information  of  other  families,  for  which  I  am  greatly

[Family  13.)  Elizabeth  Hall3,  Percival2,  John1  :  b.  in  Medford, 
Mass.  ;   in.,  in  Sutton,   Mass.,  by  Rev.   John   McKinstry,   Dec.  26, 


Note.  The  following  items  of  information  are  kindly  furnished  by  Joseph  McClellen  of 
Woodstock,  Conn.  He  says  :  "  My  grandfather,  Gen.  Samuel  McClellen,  was  born  in  the 
town  of  Worcester,  Mass.,  Jan.  4,  1730.  His  parents  emigrated  from  Scotland,  he  was 
brought  up  with  his  father  on  a  farm  near  what  is  now  the  city  of  Worcester.  He  was  a 
lieutenant  in  the  French  and  Indian  war.  And  in  1757,  he  purchased  a  farm  and  moved  on 
to  it,  in  Woodstock,  Conn.  He  occupied  the  farm  only  a  short  time,  and  then  engaged  in 
trade  in  another  part  of  the  parish.  He  married,  Nov.  16,  1757,  Jemima  Chandler,  by 
whom  lie  had  three  sons,  she  died  April  3,  1764,  and  he  married,  2d,  March  5,  1766, 
Rachel  Abbe  of  Windham,  Conn.,  by  whom  he  had  five  sons  and  three  daughters,  one 
son  and  one  daughter  died  young.  The  eldest  son  John,  was  my  father,  wha  lived  and  died 
here  on  the  place  which  my  brother  and  myself  now  occupy.  The  second  son  was  James, 
the  father  of  Dr.  Geo.  McClellen,  of  Philadelphia,  Penn.,  who  was  the  father  of  Maj. 
Gen.  Geo.  B.  McClellen,  commander  of  the  army  of  the  Potomac,  candidate  for  the  pre- 
sidency of  the  United  States,  and  late  governor  of  New  Jersey  (1 881).  The  third  son  was 
Nathaniel,  who  lived  with  his  father  until  his  death,  when  not  long  after  he  sold  the  home- 
stead and  removed  to  Albany,  N.  Y.,  afterwards  to  Northumberland,  N.  Y.,  thence  to 
New  York  city,  and  finally  to  Norwich,  Conn.,  where  he  died.  The  fourth  son  was 
Judah,  who  settled  in  Bloomfield,  Me.,  where  he  died,  leaving  a  large  family.  Two  of  his 
sons  are  in  business  in  New  York,  one  of  his  daughters  married  John  Lovett,  and  settled 
in  Albany,  the  other  Lucretia,  in.  Gen.  Ebenezer  Huntington,  of  Norwich,  Conn.  I  do 
not  know  the  name  of  my  grandfather's  father  ;  his  mother  died  in  his  family  at  an  ad- 
vanced age,  being  a  Scotch  woman  of  excellent  piety,  whose  maiden  name  was  Jane  Calhoon. 
The  daughter  of  my  Uncle  James  has  visited  Scotland  ;.nd  made  a  sketch  of  the  old  Mc- 
Clellen homestea"d,  a  copy  of  which  I  send  to  you.  The  main  building  seems  to  be  a 
ruin,  covered  with  ivy.  The  stone  one  at  the  right  was  a  chapel,  and  used  as  a  school 
house.  It  is  located  at  Kercudbright,  on  the  Galway.  My  grandfather  was  a  minute-man 
during  the  revolutionary  war,  captain  in  1775,  and  started  with  with  his  company  for 
Lexington  at  the'  beginning  of  the  war,  but  turned  back  on  hearing  of  the  retreat  of  the 
enemy.  In  1775,  ^e  was  major.  In  1776,  he  was  lieutenant  colonel.  In  1779,  was 
colonel.  In  1784,  brigadier  genera!.  On  the  invasion  of  New  London  and  masacre  at 
Fort  Groton,  he  was  placed  in  command  there  and  continued  until  the  close  of  the  war. 
When  he  resumed  his  mercantile  business  for  a  short  time,  and  then  giving  it  up,  attended 
to  his  land,  of  which  he  owned  a  large  amount.  He  died,  Oct.  17,  1807.  My  father 
was  a  lawyer'and  managed  a  large  farm  which  he  owned,  and  with  his  busy  life  seldom 
spake  of  his  ancestors."  Dea.  James  McClellen  of  Sutton  claimed  to  be  a  cousin  to  these 
Connecticut  McClellens.

1725.  It  is  claimed  that  he  came  to  Worcester  county  in  1718,  with 
a  company  of  Scotch-Irish.  After  the  death  of  Mr.  McClellen,  his

children,  who  lived  in  Illinois  ;  one  of  the  daughters  also  married. 
I  am  indebted  to  the  kindness  of  the  venerable  Cephus  Willard,  of 
Petersham,  for  most  of  the  above  information  of  Moses  and  David 
McClellen  and  their  families. 

Fifth  Generation.

Bacon,  of  Northbridge,  Mass.,  d.  Aug.  9,  1837,  ae.  73;  he  lived  on 
the  homestead  in  Sutton  ;  he  was  a  deacon.  It  may  serve  to  re- 
mind us  of  the  fact  that  this  old  patriarch  of  so  numerous  a  posterity 
was  once  a  school  boy,  to  relate  the  fact  that  he  once  went  to  school 
to  Deacon  Willis  Hall,  and  as  he  whispered  to  another  boy,  the 
teacher  came  slyly  along  and  bumped  their  heads  together.  Both  of 
these  good  old  deacons  have  been  dead  a  long  time,  and  their  numer- 
ous posterity  hold  their  names  in  sacred  and  most  interested  rever- 
ence and  veneration.  Children  of  James  and  Beulah  were  born  in 
Sutton  :

Memorial  is  383,  that  of  his  father  Jonathan,  is  213  ;  his  emigrant 
ancestor  was  Richard  Gale,  who  purchased  a  nine  acre  home  lot  in 
Watertown,  near  Boston,  in  1640  ;  Capt.  Gale  worked  the  farm  of 
his  relation,  Jonas  Gale,  to  whom  he  was  bound,  until  he  was  21 
years  of  age  ;  he  then  worked  for  seven  years  finishing  U.  S.  mus- 
kets in  the  armory  at  Millbury,  at  which  he  was  very  skillful  ;  at  the 
close  of  this  period  he  lost  all  of  his  savings  ($1,300)  by  loaning  it 
to  a  cotton  mill  company  ;  but  instead  of  being  discouraged  by  this 
great  misfortune,  Mr.  Gale  resolved  to  try  again  ;  he  served  the 
Waldron  scythe  factory  for  four  or  five  years,  by  which  he  saved 
a  few  hundred  dollars,  and  in  18 19  joined  a  company  going  to  the 
far  west,  consisting  of  I^aac  Gale  and  family,  George  Cummings,  of 
Douglass  (afterwards  Isaac  Gale's  son-in-law),  and  Rev.  Joseph 
Fassett,  of  Boston  ;  they  all  bought  lands  adjoining,  on  the  east  fork

wilderness  ;  there  was  no  mark  of  the  white  man's  axe  three  miles 
to  the  south  east,  where  now  stands  the  city  of  Columbus.  In  May,

choice;  he  returned  with  his  wife  by  wfcy  of  Providence,  R.  I.;  by 
sloop  to  Baltimore  ;  by  stage  to  Pittsburgh  ;  bv  skiff  to  Madison, 
Ind.;  here  they  stopped,  and  Mrs.  Gale,  like  a  true  helpmeet  as  she 
was,  taught  school,  while  Mr.  Gale  also  taught  school  near  Vernon, 
but  before  winter  set  in,  they  proceeded  to  the  end  of  their  journey, 
and  settled  down  at  the  home  he  had  provided  ;  here  they  lived  and 
here  they  died.  Mr.  Gale  enjoved  many  offices  of  trust,  and  was 
honored  by  being  chosen  captain  of  the  first  military  company 
formed  in  that  place.  Mrs.  Gale  died  Nov.  30,  1836  ;  her  death 
was  a  sore  bereavement  to  the  family,  her  oldest  child,  Joseph,  being 
only  12  years  old  ;  she  was  an  intelligent,  active,  kind-hearted  chris- 
tian woman.  Capt.  Gale  m.,  2d,  Sarah  Lumbeck,  of  New  Jersey,

Wright  and  his  twin  brother  Truman  K.  Wright,  were  students  in 
Burr  Seminary  at  Manchester,  Vt.,  from  the  time  it  was  opened  for 
students,  .May,  1833,  to  the  fall  of  1835,  when  they  entered  Mid- 
dlebury  College,  and  graduated  in  1839.  Since  that  time  they  have 
been  engaged  in  teaching  schools  and  academies.  Norman  F. 
Wright,  was  superintendent  of  schools  at  Binghamton,  N.  Y.,  when 
he  received  the  appointment  of  professor  of  Latin  and  Greek  in  the 
State  Normal  school  at  Cortland,  New  York.  He  was  a  Presby- 
terial  commissioner  in  1874  or  7,  in  the  general  assembly  of  the 
Presbyterian  church.  Truman  K.  Wright,  has  been  the  principal 
for  nearly  30  years  of  the  Monroe  Collegiate  Institute,  at  Eldridge, 
Onondaga  Co.,  N.  Y.  The  Wright  brothers  had  for  classmates  at 
Burr  Seminary,   Rev.  Anson  H.   Parmelee  (see  Middletown  Halls), 

Rev.  Lathrop  Taylor  of ,  Til-  (see  Medford  Halls,  5th   part).

K.  Todd  of  Illinois.  Rev.  Dr.  Samuel  J.  White  of  Connecticut; 
and  many  others,  who  commenced  study  at  mature  age  with  limited 
means,  and  found  a  cheap  and  at  the  same  time  an  efficient  school  in 
Burr  Seminary,  without  which  they  could  never  have  obtained  their  edu- 
cation. It  was  a  manual  labor  institution,  where  thev  cou'H  keep  up 
their  active  physical  habits  moderately,  while  becoming  more  accus- 
tomed to  sedentary  life  and  intellectual  labors  ;  sume  cf  the  students 
nearly  paid  their  way  by  their  work  There  were  no  more  sturdy 
workers  in  the  seminary  than  the  Wright  brothers,  who  at  the  same 
time  were  thorough  students.  I  remember  well,  what  an  active  and 
efficient  part  they  took  among  the  students  who  constructed  an 
observatory  out  of  spruce  trees,  on  the  tip  top  of  old  Equenox  on  the 
4th  of  July,  1835  ;  we  clambered  up  its  steep  sides  then,  but  now 
there  is  a  more  easy  way  of  access  by  a  roundabout  carriage  road.

Sutton,  Jan.  27,  1755,  bapt.  March  23,  1755  ;  d.  in  Rumford,  Me., 
1814;  m.,in  Croyden,  N.  K.,  Nov.  1775,  Elizabeth ,  dau.  of  Heze- 
kiah  and  Elizabeth  or  Deborah  (Taft)  Hall,  b.  Dec.  1754;^.  in 
Guildhall,  Vt.,  June  14,  1806.  She  was  living  with  her  uncle  Lieut. 
Edward  Hall  of  Croydon,  when  she  married  (See  Halls  of  Rehobath). 
Samuel  R.  Hall,  probably  came  to  Croyden,  to  see  about  some  land 
owned  by  his  father,  and  settled  there  as  a  farmer.  He  held 
the  offices  of  constable,  collector,  tithingman,  moderator  etc.,  and 
was  a  soldier  from  that  town  in  the  revolutionary  war.  He  had  sur- 
veyed in  1794,  some  of  the  eastern  townships  of  Canada,  and  pur- 
chased the  half  of  one  of  them,  of  fraudulent  parties,  and  on  Jan.  20, 
1796,  he  started  from  Cioydon,  with  his  family,  to  go  to  Canada  and 
take  possession  of  his  purchase,  and  proceeded  as  far  as  Guildhall, 
Vt.,  before  he  knew  of  the  fraud.  The  swindlers  had  been  paid,  and 
Mr.  Hall  found  himself  in  Guildhall  (which  was  nearly  a  wilder- 
ness at  that  time),  without  the  means  to  make  any  more  purchases. 
He  lived  in  Guildhall  several  years,  and  was  a  great  spiritual  bless- 
ing to  the  town  ;  the  people  were  destitute  of  the  preached  gospel, 
and  Mr.  Hall  gathered  them  together  and  conducted  prayer  meetings, 
with  exhortations,  and  his  gifts  and  usefulness,  appeared  to  justify  his 
becoming  a  preacher  of  the  gospel,  and  he  was  accordingly  ordained 
as  a  Congregational  minister.  In  1807,  he  removed  to  Rumford, 
Me.,  where  he  was  the  means  of  gathering  a  church,  and  became  its 
pastor,  and  continued  such  until  his  death.  Mrs.  Hall  was  a  feeble 
woman  in  the  later  years  of  her  life.      Children  were  : 

1.  Hannah,  b.  Dec.  7,  1776;  m.  Micah  Amy  ;  resided  in  Guild- 
hall, until  her  death,  and  then  he  went  west;  children  were,  i.  Clarissa,

Graffaw  or  Graffam,  a  native  of  Maine  ;  resided  at  New  Bedford, 
Mass.  Her  maternal  grandparents  were  among  the  earliest  and 
most  enterprizing  inhabitants  of  Cape  Cod  Hill,  Me.  ;  the  hill  com-

several  years  engaged  in  her  favorite  employment  of  teaching  school, 
subsequently  she  spent  six  years  at  Lowell,  Mass.,  where  she  gained 


Halls  of  Medford  ( Part  Seventh).  389 

a  favorable  notoriety  in  connection  with  the  "  Lowell  Offering  "  ; 
in  Sept.,  1844  tne  A.  B.  C.  F.  M.,  sent  her  (with  others)  as  a 
teacher  to  the  Choctaw  Indians  ;  she  was  cared  for  and  supported  by 
the  John  street  church,  of  Lowell,  principally  in  this  mission  ;  she 
was  one  of  the  original  members  of  this  church  ;  her  health  failing, 
she  returned  after  five  years  of  labor  and  retired  for  recuperation  to 
the  quiet  life  of  former  times  in  Maine  and  Massachusetts.  One  of 
the  irritating  causes  of  her  ill  health  among  the  Indians,  was  their 
toleration  of  slavery,  although  but  few  practiced  it.  The  repeal  by 
congress  of  what  was  called  the  Missouri  compromise  (which  forbade 
the  extension  of  slavery  to  the  north,  Deyond  a  specified  line),  aroused 
her  patriotism  and  love  of  universal  freedom  ;  and  she  with  many 
others  of  like  mind,  rushed  to  the  west  and  established  themselves  at 
Lawrence,  Kansas,  where  they  fought  a  moral  battle  and  to  some 
extent  a  physical  one,  for  five  long  years,  in  order  to  keep  the  virgin 
soil  of  that  new  territory  from  being  cursed  with  the  blight  of  slavery. 
The  task  of  these  patriots  would  have  been  an  easy  one,  had  not  the 
general  government  at  Washington  lent  its  influence  to  the  side  of 
slavery  extension  and  against  the  cause  of  freedom  ;  here  is  where 
the  war  began  which  subsequently  deluged  the  land  in  blood.  After 
the  battle  of  Antietam,  Lydia  was  found  nursing  the  sick  and  wounded 
soldiers  in  the  hospitals  at  Washington,  until  her  health  failed,  and 
she  received  an  appointment  as  clerk  in  the  Treasury  department, 
until  May,  1872,  when   she  went  to  reside  in  New  Bedford,   Mass.

Solomon  Holt,  of  Andover,  Mass.,   who    was    the    companion    and 
solace  of  his  old  age,  and   who    survived    him  ;   she    lives   with    her 
youngest  son  in  Brownington,  who  is  the    only    one    of  Mr.    Hall's 
eleven  children  now  living.      Read  Hall  assumed  the  name  of  Samuel 
after  the  death  of  a  brother  of  that  name,  and  is  generally  known  as 
Samuel  R.  Hall  ;   he  went  with    his    parents,    when    a    child,    from 
Croydon  to  Guildhall,  Vt.  ;   during  his  entire  youth  he  suffered  much 
from  feeble  health  ;   owing  to  his  father's   loss    of  property    he    was 
unable  to  obtain  a  collegiate  education,  but  pursued  a  full   course    of 
classical  study  at  Kimball  Union  Academy  at   Meriden,    N.    H.,    in 
18 15,  6,  8,  9;  he  received   the    honorary    degree    of  A.    M.    from 
Dartmouth  College  in  1839,  and  that  of   LL.D.   from   the    Univer- 
sity   of    Vermont   in     1865.       He    began    to    teach    school    at    the 
age    of  twenty.        He    said    of   himself,    later    in     life,     "  One     of 
the    first    convictions    fastened    on    my     mind,    after    I     became    a 
teacher,  was  that  the    whole     system    of  education    in    the    country 
was  defective  ;   and  that  the  time  of  scholars  in  the  common  schools 
was,  in  a  great  measure,  lost ;  I  taught  in  Maine,    New    Hampshire 
and  other  states,  and  in  each  state  observed   the    same    facts  ;   I    de- 
termined, therefore,  to  do  what  I  could,  to  reform  abuses  and  correct 
evils  ;   my  efforts  were  appreciated  and    my    services    sought    at    my 
own  prices."     This  [encouraged   him    to    persevere,  and   the    result 
was  that  he  became  eminent  as  a    teacher    and    trainer    of  teachers. 
"  Great  persistency  and  personal  enthusiasm  in  whatever  engaged  his 
attention,  breadth  of  generalization,    and    large    capacity    for    labor, 
combined  with  warmth  and  earnestness  of  heart,   were    among    Mr. 
Hall's  prominent  characteristics,  and  doubtless  gave  the    key    to    his 
life's  success.      His  views  of  both  the  importance  and    the    methods 
of  the  education  of  youth,  as  based  upon  religious  grounds,  were    at 
the  beginning  in  advance  of  his  time,  and  his  contributions  to  educa- 
tional reform  will    remain  as    the  chief  memorial  of   his    service." 
But    Mr.    Hall    was    not    content    with     merely    teaching    school ; 
his  religious   conviction    of  duty    led  him    to  seek    the    ministry    of 
the  gospel.      He  studied    theology    with    Rev.    Walter    Chapin,    of 
Woodstock,     Vt.,    and    Rev.     William      Eaton,     of     Fitchburgh, 
Mass.,    and    was    licensed    to     preach    by     the     Worcester    North

Association  at  Princeton,  Mass.,  May,  1822  —  at  the  same 
time  receiving  an  appointment  to  labor  as  a  missionary  at  Concord, 
Vt.,  where  he  commenced  his  labors  June  2,  1822  ;  and  by  an  un- 
derstanding with  his  people  he  established  a  seminary  for  training 
teachers,  which  was  opened  in  March,  1823 — here,  in  an  obscure 
corner  of  New  England,  self  prompted  and  alone  in  planning,  he 
established  the  first  normal  school  in  America.  The  school  was  suc- 
cessful, and  those  who  went  out  from  it  were  greatly  sought  as  teach- 
ers in  Vermont,  New  Hampshire  and  Canada.  A  course  of  lec- 
tures was  given  each  year  to  his  students,  and  in  1829  a  small  vol- 
ume of  lectures  on  teaching,  was  committed  to  the  press  ;  it  became 
so  popular,  that  three  editions  were  soon  exhausted — the  third,  of 
1,000  copies  was  taken  by  the  State  of  New  York.  One  method 
which  he  invented  for  teaching,  was  the  blackboard;  he  introduced 
it  for  use  in  his  school  in  Rumford,  Me.,  in  1816  ;  it  had  never 
been  used  before  in  America.  Mr.  Hall  was  dismissed  from  his 
charge  in  Concord,  June,  1830,  to  take  charge  of  the  English  Nor- 
mal School  of  Phillips  Academy,  Andover,  Mass.,  for  which  an 
elegant  building  has  since  been  erected,  at  a  cost  of  $8,000.  His 
success  at  Concord  and  Andover,  together  with  lectures  on  the  sub- 
ject and  written  appeals,  gradually  awakened    the   public    mind  ;   his 

efforts,  in  connection  with  those  of  G.  B.    Emerson,    Morse, 

the  author  of  the  geography,  E.  A.  Andrews,  Benjamin  Greanleaf, 
N.  Cleveland  and  others,  by  memorial  presented  to  the  legislature, 
effected  the  establishment  or  the  board  of  education  in  Massachu- 
setts, 1837,  and  in  1838  the  normal  school,  the  first  endowed  by  any 
state  in  the  Union.  The  full  course  at  Andover  was  three  years 
but  so  great  was  the  demand  for  teachers,  that  few  of  the  students 
completed  it.  After  seven  years  at  Andover,  his  health  became  so 
much  impaired  by  overtasking  and  the  unfavorable  influence  of  the 
climate  so  near  the  sea,  he  was  led  to  resign  the  charge  of  the  semi- 
nary and  to  accept  the  appointment  of  principal  of  the  Teachers' 
Seminary  then  being  established  at  Plymouth,  N.  H.  There  he 
was  assisted  in  the  school  by  Miss  Arethusa  Hall,  an  accomplished 
teacher  and"  author  ;  they  were  both  descended  from  Deacon  Perci- 
val  Hall,  of  Sutton,  in  the  third  degree,  but  knew  not  that  they  were 
cousins,  to  such  a  low  degree  of  neglect  had  genealogical  knowledge 
and  interest  fallen  ;  owing  to  pecuniary  embarrassment  of  the  trus- 
tees, Mr.  Hall  left  Plymouth  at  the  end  of  the  third  year.  After 
closing  the  seminary  at  Plymouth,  he  accepted  a  call  from  the  church 
of  Craftsbury,  Vt.,  July  8,  1840  ,  this  pastorate  continued    for   thir-

teen  and  a  half  years,  during  which  he  received  nearly  ioo  persons  to 
church  membership  ;  he  was  also  for  a  portion  of  the  time,  principal 
of  the  Craftsbury  Academy,  and  left  a  valuable  cabinet  of  minerals^ 
well  arranged,  to  the  institution  ;  here  his  labors  had  become  too 
much  for  his  state  of  health  and  he  was  obliged  to  seek  for  a  field 
less  onerous  ;  accordingly  he  was  dismissed,  Jan.  4,  1858,  and  im- 
mediately commenced  labors  at  Brownington,  Vt.,  on  a  salary  of 
$400  per  annum,  and  continued  until  Feb.  5,  1867,  when  he  resigned 
on  account  of  old  age.  Here  he  purchased  a  farm,  upon  which  his 
son  and  widow  find  a  comfortable  home.  While  pastor  of  the 
church  of  Brownington  he  received  upwards  of  sixty  members  to 
the  church;  he  was  also  postmaster  of  Brownington  from  Aug.  1, 
1863,  to  Feb.  1,  1865.  Still  his  active  nature  could  not  rest,  and  he 
labored  for  three  years  from  1872  to  1875,  at  Granby,  Vt.,  in  a 
church  which  he  had  organized  50  years  previous.  This  was  ac- 
complished with  much  acceptance  and  usefulness.  At  the  close  of 
his  labors  in  Granby,  he  had  a  call  to  preach  in  another  church,  but 
the  increasing  infirmity  of  old  age  forbade  his  accepting  it.  He  was 
well  acquainted  with  astronomy,  and  gave  lectures  on  the  subject  in 
other  places,  when  laboring  at  Granby  in  extreme  old  age.  In  the 
science  of  geology  he  was  also  an  enthusiast,  and  an  acknowledged 
master  ;  he  sought  to  popularize  and  make  practical  the  science,  es- 
pecially in  its  bearings  upon  the  agricultural  interest  of  the  state  ;  in  the 
geological  survey  of  Vermont,  under  Prof.  Edward  Hitchcock,  com- 
menced in  1857,  he  had  the  especial  charge  of  the  survey,  and  the  col- 
lection of  specimens,  in  the  three  most  northerly  sections  of  the  thir- 
teen, into  which  the  state  was  divided.  He  said  there  was  gold  in  that 
section,  but  not  enough  to  pay  for  working.  He  frequently  gave  lec- 
tures on  geology.  The  following  are  the  most  important  of  his  pub- 
lished works:  "The  Child's  Assistant  to  a  Knowledge  of  the 
Geography  and  History  of  Vermont" — and  as  revised  and  enlarged, 
is  now  in  use  in  the  common  schools  of  the  state—"  Lectures  on 
Teaching,"  1829  ;  in  1832,  "  Lectures  to  Female  School  Teach- 
ers," "The  Child's  Instructor"  and  "Arithmetical  Manuel;" 
in  1833,  "Practical  Lectures  on  Parental  Responsibility  and 
the  Religious  Education  of  Children,"  "  The  Grammatical  As- 
sistant" and  "A  School  History  of  the  United  States,"  and 
in  1868,  "The  Alphabet  of  Geology."  Aside  from  these,  he 
was  the  author  of  numerous  contributions  to  the  'Journal  of  Edu- 
cation and  other  periodicals.  At  the  opening  of  Oberlin  Col- 
lege, Rev.  Dr.  S.  R.    Hall    was    appointed  its   first    president,    and

he  sent  on  his  brother-in-law,  Prof.  John  Dascomb,  to  make  a  begin- 
ning who,  I  believe,  is  there  yet  ;  but  Dr.  Hall  did  not  go  on,  for 
some  reason,  which  I  do  not  understand.  Such  was  the  public  career 
of  a  remarkable  man  ;  but  he  was  more  remarkable  for  the  simplicity 
of  his  life  and  manners,  his  unselfishness  of  heart  and  the  amiability 
of  his  disposition.  He  manifested  an  interest  in  everybody,  and  was 
willing  to  do  all  he  could  to  make  them  happy.  None  knew  him 
but  to  love  him   as  a  dear  friend  or  near  kindred.      Children  were  :

dover,  Mass.,  Oct.  14,  1832  ;  d.  at  Stevens  Point,  Wis.,  Aug.  24, 
1877  ;  m.,  Oct.  5,  1854,  John  Philips,  M.  D.,  at  Brownington,  Vt., 
b.  Nov.,  1823  ;  Dr.  Philips  settled  in  practice  the  same  fall  at  Ste- 
vens Point,  Wis.,  where  he  still  resides,  and  is  greatly  esteemed  as  a 
man  and  as  a  physician.  The  following  extract  is  taken  from  a 
notice  of  Mrs.  Philips'  death,  by  Gen.  A.  G.  Ellis,  and  published  in 
a  newspaper  at  Stevens  Point  :  ''  Ever  since  Mrs.  Philips  came 
among  us,  twenty-three  years  ago,  she  has  been  a  constant  and  beloved 
member  of  our  society  ;  her  education  was  carefully  secured,  and 
her  mind  cultivated  in  no  ordinary  degree  ;  not  rudiments  alone,  but 
the  more  solid  attainments  of  physics  and  philosophy  adorned  and 
strengthened  her  understanding  ;  yet  her  reticence  and  modest  de- 
portment was  ever  such,  that  nothing  like  display  or  pedantry 
appeared  in  her  intercourse  with  society,  and  her  learning,  if  it  ap- 
peared at  all,  was  only  as  an  adornment  of  her  eminent  christian 
graces  ;  it  was  only  her  most  intimate  friends  and  family, 
that  knew  cf  her  attainments  in  the  exact  sciences  and  the  languages. 
Her  beautiful  poems,  "  Under  the  Pines,"  though  only  fragments  of 
her  writings,  are  before  the  public,  published,  as  we  know,  with 
much  reluctance,  and  after  repeated  solicitations  of  her  friends,  and 
written,  as  they  were,  only  to  beguile  leisure  hours,  may  neverthe- 
less challenge  criticism,  and  do  equal  honor  to  her  mind  and  heart. 
To  recite  her  works  of  charity,  her  labors  of  love,  would  only  be  to 
give  a  history  of  most  of  the  benevolent  enterprises  among  our  lady 
friends  for  the  last  twenty  years.  Among  those  of  a  literary  cast  it 
may  not  be  inappropriate  to  cite  that  of  our  now  excellent  Library 
Association,  as  an  institution  to  be  credited  very  largely  to  her  efforts. 
Her  list  of  friends  was  only  limited  by  the  number  of  her  acquain- 
tances.    The  cheerfulness  with  which  she  endured  a  lingering  illness,

testified  her  unwavering  faith  and  trust  in    her  divine    Lord,    looking 
calmly  to  a  brighter  world,  as  she  says  in  her  own  sweet  song."

Warren  Austin,  b.  May  15,  1869;  d.  Oct.  9,  1869.  Mr.  Brown 
was  a  soldier  in  the  war  for  the  Union,  in  Battery  E,  1st  R.  I.  Ar- 
tillery ;  was  soon  promoted  from  a  private,  by  degrees,  to  the  office 
of  1st  lieutenant,  and  engaged  in  nearly  all  the  battles  of  the  army 
of  the  Potomac  up  to  the  time  of  his  capture  in  the  battle  of  the 
Wilderness  ;  he  was  then  taken  to  Richmond  ;  then  to  Dansville  ; 
then  to  Macon,  Ga.,  when  he  effected  his  escape  ;  but  after  travel- 
ing twelve  days,  was  retaken  and  traveled  back  again  and  placed  in 
a  dungeon  and  kept  there  for  six  weeks,  then  removed  to  Charleston, 

5.  C.j  while  on  the  road,  eighty  of  our  men,  prisoners,  jumped  from 
the  cars  and  fled,  but  were  all  captured  before  night  of  the  next  day, 
and  taken  to  Charleston,  and  placed  under  the  fire  of  our  own  guns, 
which  were  then  shelling  the  city,  and  kept  there  until  about  the 
fourteenth  of  October  ;  they  were  then  removed,  to  Columbus,  S.  C, 
and  placed  in  an  open  field,  without  shelter  and  almost  without  food, 
and  kept  there  until  about  the  fourth  of  November,  when,  says  Mr. 
Brown,  four  of  us  made  our  escape,  and  traveled  to  our  lines  at 
Knoxville,  Tenn.,  500  miles  in  30  days  ;  we  lived  mostly  on  parched 
corn,  not  daring  to  see  anybody.  On  our  arrival  we  were  in  a  bad 
condition,  one  of  us  having  frozen  both  of  his  feet,  and  had  not 
eaten  anything  except  snow  for  100  hours.  Lieut.  Brown  was  in 
command  of  a  cannon  at  the  battle  of  Gettysburgh,  the  same  which

cival2,  John1:   b.   in  Croydon,   N.  H.,   Feb.  1,  1838;   not  married; 

was  educated  at  Kimball  Union  Academy,  Meriden,   N.  H.  ;  was  a 

school  teacher ;  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  for  the  Union  ;  he  enlisted 

Aug.  20,  1861,  in  Co.  E,  Capt.  Ira  McL.  Barton,  5th  Reg.,  N.  H., 

called  the  "  Fighting  Fifth,"  Col.  Edward  E.  Cross.     Alonzo  Allen 

was  a  soldier  of  great  efficiency  as  well  as  of  noble  bearing,  being  over 

six  feet  in  height,  straight  and  well  proportioned,  his  weight  was  over 

200  pounds  ;   his  captain  offered  him  the  office  of  2d  sergeant,  which 

he  nobly  declined  in  favor  of  his  brother  Oscar,  who  had  seen  service. 

Private  Allen    took    part  with    his   regiment  during  the  first   half  of 

1862,  in  its  drills,  marches,  fatigue   duties,    road    making,  bridge  and 

tower   building,   in    the   siege  of  Yorktown,  etc.  ;  the  bridge  which 

they  constructed  over  the  Chickahominy  river  called  Sumner's  grape 

vine  bridge,  was  said  by  the  French  Prince  de  Joinville  to  have  been 

the  means  of  saving  the  army  of  the  Potomac  at  the  battle  of  Fair 

Oaks.     Private  Allen  took  an  active  and  honorable  part  in  the  battles 

of  Rappahannock   Station,   Yorktown  and    Fair  Oaks  ;    in  this   last 

engagement  June  1,  1862,  near  its  close,  he  received  a  severe  wound, 

which  at  first  was  thought  to  be  mortal,  and  so  disabled  him  that  he 

is  incapacitated  for  manual  labor  for  life  ;  he  carries  rebel  lead  yet  in 

his  body.      He  received  an  honorable  discharge  from  the  army,  Sept. 

11,   1862.     His  fellow  townsmen    have   elected   him  town  clerk  at 

seventeen  annual  elections  last  past ;  in  1877,  Gov.  Cheney  appointed 

him  justice  of  the  peace,  which  office  he  still    holds  ;   he   is  also  the 

postmaster  of  Croydon.      He  takes  great  interest  in  genealogical  and 

historical   researches,  and    has  sent    me  very  valuable  contributions 

from   the  records  of  Croydon   and   elsewhere  ;  he  also   has   been   a 

contributor  to  the  Press  for  these  eight  or  ten  years  past. 

(Family  368.)  Oscar  D.  Allen?,  pedigree  as  above:  b.  Dec.  14, 
1842;  d.  July  2,  1863,  not  married  ;  he  was  a  soldier  in  the  war  for 
the  Union,  and  the  first  who  enlisted  from  Croydon  ;  he  enlisted 
about  April  22,  186 1,  in  Co.  D,  Capt.  McL.  Barton,  5th  Reg.,  N. 
H.  Vols.,  Col.  Mason  W.  Tappen  ;  mustered  into  service,  May  2, 
1 86 1,  for  three  months.  This  regiment  marched  and  counter- 
marched in  Maryland  and  Virginia,  and  had  a   dusty    time    of  it  ;  it

should  have  participated  in  the  first  battle  of  Bull  Run  ;  and,  if  so, 
would  probably  have  turned  the  scale  in  favor  of  the  Union,  in  that 
nearly  even  balanced  battle  ;  then  the  war  might  have  been  shortened, 
and  its  results  would  have  been  quite  different  from  what  they  finally 
were.  Oscar  D.  Allen  frequently  received  the  highest  praise  from 
Capt.  Barton,  and  the  other  officers  of  his  regiment  for  his  good  con- 
duct, soldierly  bearing,  faithfulness  and  reliability.  His  term  of  ser- 
vice expired,  Aug.  9,  1861,  and  he  spent  ten  delightful  days  among 
the  hills  of  his  native  town,  visiting  the  companions  of  his  youth, 
and  having  a  good  time  in  the  society  of  his  dear  kindred  and  loved 
ones;  then,  Aug.  20,  1861,  he  re-enlisted  under  the  same  captain  in 
Co.  E,  as  corporal,  5th  Reg.,  N.  H.  Vols.,  Col.  E.  E.  Cross. 
Their  first  battle  was  at  Rappahannock  Station,  March  28,  1862,  in 
which  all  the  men  acquitted  themselves  worthy  of  all  praise.  On 
the  4th  of  April,  1862,  the  regiment  embarked  at  Alexandria,  Va., 
for  the  Peninsula  ;  they  reached  Ship  Point,  April  11,  and  were 
obliged  to  wade  ashore  from  the  steamer,  and  camp  on  the  cold, 
wet  ground,  with  no  shelter  but  their  wet  blankets  ;  then  began  the 
building  of  corduroy  roads  and  bridges,  through  the  low  swampy 
ground  towards  Yorktown.  This  regiment  was  often  complimented 
by  Gens.  Howard  and  Sumner  for  its  skill  in  its  arduous  duties. 
And  in  Gen.  McClellen's  seige  of  Yorktown  it  acted  a  conspicuous 
part ;  it  was  temporarily  joined  to  the  engineers'  brigade  under  Gen. 
Woodbury ;  it  also  constructed  an  observatory  at  general  head- 
quarters, of  heavy  hewed  timbers,  100  feet  high  and  40  feet  base. 
On  the  3d  of  May,  Yorktown  was  evacuated  by  the  enemy,  and  on 
the  fifth  the  thunder  of  battle  was  heard  from  Williamsburgh  by  the 
"Fighting  Fifth,"  and,  eager  for  the  fray,  it  started  just  at  dark,  in 
the  midst  of  a  terrific  rain  storm,  and  continued  over  the  most  ter- 
rible marching  ground,  with  the  mud  nearly  knee  deep,  in  the  midst 
of  darkness,  until  nearly  morning,  coming  up  too  late  to  share  in  the 
victory.  By  order  of  Gen.  Sumner,  the  5th  New  Hampshire  began 
on  the  25th  of  May,  1862,  to  build  a  bridge  over  the  Chickahominy 
river  and  swamp,  strong  enough  for  artillery  and  loaded  wagons  to 
cross  ;  the  swamp  was  corduroyed  on  both  sides  of  the  river,  and 
the  bridge  was  constructed  of  heavy  logs  and  immense  trees  seventy- 
five  rods  in  length  •,  it  was  finished  on  the  30th  of  May,  at  evening, 
just  in  time  for  Gen  Sumner's  corps  to  cross  and  save,  on  the  next 
day,  Gen.  Casey's  division  from  total  destruction  at  the  battle  of  Fair 
Oaks.  A  sudden  rise  of  the  river  had  carried  away  all  the  other 
bridges  of  the  Chickahominy.     In  all  these  arduous  toils  of  theregi-

merit,  Corporal  Allen  was  in  his  place  and  engaged,  with  the  marked 
approval  of  his  superiors.  At  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks,  where  was 
the  hottest  musketry  firing  during  the  war,  the  "  Fighting  Fifth" 
fired  the  first  and  the  last  shot.  Company  E  was  on  the  extreme 
left  of  the  regiment,  and  Corporal  Allen  stood  in  its  front  rank,  in 
the  center,  and  his  brother  Alonzo  on  the  right  ;  the  company  went 
into  the  battle  with  fifty-seven  fighting  men,  six  of  whom  were 
killed  and  twenty-three  wounded,  including  Alonzo  Allen.  During 
the  "seven  days  battles"  Corporal  Allen  was  at  his  post,  and  with 
unflinching  courage  performed  well  his  part  in  the  bloody  battles  of 
Savage  Station,  Peach  Orchard,  White*  Oak  Swamp,  Charles  City 
Cross  Roads,  and  Malvern  Hill ;  his  superior  officers  spoke  in  the 
highest  praise  of  his  coolness,  fidelity  and  reliability  in  these  battles  ; 
he  was  next  in  the  deadly  contest  at  South  Mountain  battle  ;  and  two 
days  after,  Sept.  17,  1862,  he  was  engaged  in  the  great  battle  of 
Antietam,  in  which  he  received  a  severe  bullet  wound  in  the  left 
shoulder,  the  bullet  passing  through  his  body  just  below  his  left 
shoulder  ;  at  the  same  time  a  descending  shell  of  the  enemy  burst  so 
close  to  him  that  a  piece  struck  his  head  and  stretched  him  sense- 
less upon  the  ground  ;  he  was  carried  to  the  camp  hospital  near 
Frederick  City,  Md.,  to  await  the  healing  of  his  wounds  ;  while 
here,  he  was  promoted  for  his  bravery  to  the  office  of  2d  sergeant  of 
Co.  E  ;  when  his  wounds  were  nearly  healed  he  returned  to  his 
post  in  Co.  E,  arriving  there  in  the  midst  of  the  terrible  battle  of 
ChancellorvSville,  May  2,  1863  ;  from  this  time  he  acted  as  orderly 
sergeant  in  Co.  E  to  the  day  of  his  death.  At  the  battle  of  Get- 
tysburgh,  his  twelfth  great  battle,  our  youthful  hero  bore  himself 
bravely  until  near  the  close  of  the  second  day's  contest,  when  the 
fatal  missile,  a  grape  shot,  passed  through  his  body,  killing  him  in- 
stantly ;  his  brave  Col.,  E.  E.  Cross,  was  also  mortally  wounded  in 
the  same  battle.  The  mortal  remains  of  Sergeant  Oscar  D.  Allen 
lie  buried  in  the  National  Cemetery  at  Gettysburg,  Pa.,  No.  10,  sec- 
tion 6,  N.  H.  Lot.  His  memory  is  cherished  for  his  manly 
conduct  and  martial  bravery  by  his  surviving  comrades  and  friends 
generally,  among  the  green  hills  of  New  Hampshire.  And  while  we 
express  our  highest  tribute  of  regard  for  the  heroes  of  our  terrible 
struggle  for  national  existence,  we  hope  and  pray  that  we  as  a  Nation, 
shall  never  again  be  called  to  the  trial  of  another  such  a  crisis,  when 
brother  wars  with  brother,  and  whichever  gains  the  victory  it  must 
end  in  damage  to  both.  And  more  than  this,  we  pray  with  hope, 
that  the  blessed  day  shall  come  when  men  shall  not  need  to  learn 
the  art  of  war  any  more.

in  Sutton  from  his  eighth  year  of  age  until  his  2d  marriage,  when  he 
removed  to  Millbury,  and  subsequently  to  Cornish,  where  he  was 
chosen  a  deacon  of  the  Congregational  church  ;  he  was  admitted  to 
the  church  of  Sutton  in  1735,  and  his  first  wife  in  1741.  Thomas 
Hall  was  a  farmer  and  had  a  farm  next  to  his  father's  in  Sutton 
(probably  his  father  gave  a  farm  to  each  of  his  sons  and  sons-in-law)  ; 
he  may  have  lived  for  a  short  period  in  Grantly  or  Groton,  probably 
the  family  left  Sutton  before  the  births  of  his  last  two  children. 
Children  were  : 

I.  Percival,  b.  March  15, 1741  (Family  369).  2.  Thomas,  b.

Note.  The  Chase  pedigree.  Judith  Chase,  wife  of  Dea.  Thomas  Hall,  was  born  Sept.  7 
1720  she  was  the  dau.  of  Daniel  Chase  and  his  wife,  Sarah  March,  who  were  admitted  to 
church  Sutton  from  church  Littleton,  1736  (Littleton  was  then  a  part  of  Groton),  to  which 
Daniel  had  removed  in  1725  from  Newbury,  b.  Sept.  20,  1685,  son  of  Moses,  who  was  b. 
Dec.  24,  1663,  and  m.,  Nov.  i&,  1684,  Ann  Follansbee.  Moses  was  the  eleventh  child 
of  Aquila  Chase  and  his  wife  Anna,  dau.  of  John  Wheeler,  of  Hampton  and  from  Salisbury, 
Eng.  Aquila  Chase  was  a  mariner  from  Cornwall,  Eng.;  he  was  at  Hampton,  in  Mass., 
in  1640.  His  brother  Thomas  died  there  in  1653;  and  Aquila  removed  to  Newbury  in 
1646,  from  which  place  he  made  frequent  voyages  as  master  of  a  vessel  j  he  made  his  will 
in  1670  and  died  that  same  year.  The  father  of  Aquila  Chase  was  Richard  of  Chesham, 
Eng.,  who  m.,  April  10,  1564,  Joan  Bishop,  and  had  ten  children,  of  whom  Aquila  was 
the  6th  :  the  father  of  Richard  was  Matthew ;  the  father  of  Matthew  was  John  who  was 
bapt.  in  Chesham  in  1540,  and  whose  father  was  Thomas  of  Chesham,  whose  right  to  use 
a  certain  coat  of  arms  was  confirmed,  the  coat  of  arms  had  probably  been  used  by  his 
ancestors.

Henderson^  d.  1861,  as.  81  years,  9  months;  residence  77  Warren 
avenue,  Boston.  He  was  a  house  painter  by  trade,  and  the  treasurer 
of  School  street  church  ;  was  a  man  of  broad  sympathies  and  un- 
swerving integrity.  Mrs.  Betsey  Henderson  retained  her  faculties 
very  remarkably  well,  to  the  last.  Her  birthday  was  celebrated  in 
the  national  centennial  year  1876,  when  five  generations  were  present; 
Mrs.  Taylor  her  great-granddaughter  coming  from  Philadelphia  with 
her  child  for  that  purpose.  One  of  the  newspapers  proposed  that  a 
special  car  be  chartered  to  convey  this  company  of  five  generations 
to  the  centennial  exhibition  at  Philadelphia.  At  the  celebration  of 
her  99th  birthday,  she  had  not  failed  perceptibly,  except  being 
troubled  with  the  rheumatism,  on  this  account,  as  her  niece  Mrs. 
Talbot,  was  about  to  retire  from  a  call  on  her,  Mrs.  Henderson 
begged  to  be  excused  for  not  rising,  with  the  remark,  "you  see  I  do 
not  belong  to  the  rising  generation."  At  the  celebration  of  her 
100th  year  there  was  considerable  ceremony  ;  her  pastor,  Rev.  Dr. 
Miner,  delivered  an  interesting  discourse  to  his  congregation,  in 
Columbus  avenue  church,  it  being  Sunday,  commemorative  of  her 
life  ;  he  said  "  she  is  a  remarkable  specimen  of  well  preserved  old 
age,  being  in  full  possession  of  her  faculties,  with  a  clear  mind  and

good  health,  and  rejoicing  in  the  hope  of  eternal  blessedness  ;"  at 
the  close  of  the  commemorative  service,  the  deacons  of  the  church, 
the  standing  committee,  with  the  pastor  and  other  friends,  repaired 
to  Mrs.  Henderson's  residence,  bearing  floral  testimonials  of  the 
respect  borne  her  by  the  church,  parish  and  friends  ;  and  congratulating 
her  upon  her  continued  health  and  happiness  on  the  centennial 
celebration  of  her  natal  day.  Mrs.  Henderson  continued  another 
year  in  her  usual  health,  and  preservation.  On  the  8th  of  March, 
1881,  her  grandniece,  Mrs.  Foster,  of  Andover,  went  to  see  her, 
and  found  her  sitting  up  straight  in  her  chair,  possessed  of  all  her 
faculties  well  preserved,  except  being  a  little  hard  of  hearing.  About 
the  middle  of  the  same  month,  her  niece,  Mrs.  Talbot,  went  to  see 
her,  Mrs.  Henderson  received  her  very  cordially  and  said  with  tears, 
"  O,  I  am  so  glad  to  see  you,  but  I  hope  not  to  see  another  birth- 
day ;"  soon  after  that  she  took  cold,  but  was  able  to  be  dressed,  and 
to  sit  in  her  chair  each  day  ;  during  her  last  night  she  was  restless, 
and  as  soon  as  daylight,  was  dressed,  by  her  request,  and  placed  in 
her  chair,  when  immediately  she  leaned  her  head  back,  smiled, 
closed  her  eyes,  and  was  gone,  March  29,  1881.  Her  remains  were 
laid  away  in  the  family  tomb  in  Mount  Auburn  cemetery,  in  hope 
of  a  blessed  resurrection.      Children  were: 

1.  Elizabeth,  m.,  her  cousin  Orlando  Hall ;  he  d.  1831  ;  she  is

him.  He  was  a  man  of  vigorous  constitution,  and  had  scarcely 
ever  been  troubled  with  a  day  of  serious  sickness  ;  a  year  before  his 
death  he  took  passage  on  the  ill  fated  Seawanhaka  on  his  way  to  his 
country  residence  ;  when  the  vessel  was  wrecked,  he  floated  some  dis- 
tance in  the  water,  till  he  was  rescued  ;  but  the  shock  and  the 
strain  on  his  physical  strength  was  thought  to  have  had  some  influence 
in  hastening  his  death.  Mr.  Hall  spent  some  years  in  Boston,  but 
in  1828  he  came  to  New  York,  and  soon  after  embarked  in  the 
business  of  manufacturing  upholsterer's  supplies  ;  his  store  was  169 
Chatham  street  ;  he  was  a  leading  man  in  the  business,  and  built  up 
a  large  and  successful  trade  ;  some  years  before  his  death  he  gave 
over  the  active  management  of  the  concern  to  his  son  Frank  A.  ;  he 
was  a  prudent  and  careful  business  man  and  had  accumulated  a  hand- 
some fortune.  In  1865  he  began  his  residence  at  139  Keaf  street, 
Brooklyn,  where  he  died  ;  he  was  a  great  admirer  of  Dr.  Edward 
Eggleston,  upon  whose  preaching  he  had  attended  for  some  years.

m.,  in  Norwich,  Mass.,  Jan.  16,  181 1,  Sylvester  Judd,  of  West- 
hampton,  Mass.,  b.  in  Westhampton,  April  23,  1789,  d.  April  18, 
i860;  was  a  merchant,  represented  the  town  in  legislature;  re- 
moved to  Northampton,  1822,  and  became  editor  and  proprietor  of 
the  Hampshire  Gazette,  which  he  sold  out  Jan.  1,  1835,  and  devoted 
his  time  to  literature  ;  he  was  the  compiler  of  "  Thomas  Judd  and 
his  descendants,"  published  1856,  and  author  of  the  "  History  of 
Hadley,  with  a  Genealogy  "  which  was  in  press  when  he  died.  He 
left  large  collections  in  manuscripts,  pertaining  to  the  early  history 
and  families  of  Northampton  and  the  neighboring  towns,  besides  ex- 
tensive miscellaneous  collections  of  valuable  matter ;  he  was  an 
honorary  member  of  the  Connecticut  and  Massachusetts  Historical 
Societies,  and  of  the  American  Antiquarian  Society  ;  he  was  em- 
ployed for  three  or  four  years  in  arranging  and  putting  in  volumes  the 
public  papers  of  Connecticut,  in  the  State  House  at  Hartford.  The 
following  is  his  pedigree  :  he  was  the  son  of  Sylvester  Judd,  a  mer- 
chant and  farmer  of  Westhampton,  and  a  delegate  in  1779,  to  form 
the  constitution  of  Massachusetts,  who  was  the  son  of  Jonathan 
Judd,  the  pastor  of  the  church  of  Southampton,  for  sixty  years,  who 
was  the  son  of  Capt.  William  Judd,  of  Waterbury,  Conn.,  who  was 
the  son  of  Thomas  Judd,  Esq.y  of  Waterbury,  who  was  the  son  of 
William  Judd  of  Farmington,  Conn.,  who  was  the  son  of  Dea. 
Thomas  Judd,  the  emigrant  who  settled  at  West  Cambridge,  Mass., 
freeman  of  1636  and  in  May  31,  set  out  with  a  company  of  about 
100  men,  women  and  children,  on  foot,  through  the  wilderness  to 
the  Connecticut  river  where  they  began  what  is  now  the  city  of 
Hartford.  In  about  1644  he  removed  to  Farmington,  which  he 
represented  in  General  Court  from  May,  1647,  seventeen  sessions. 
The  very  complimentary  letters  from  Mr.  Sylvester  Judd,  of  North- 
ampton, to  me  in  my  early  and  successful  searches  for  my  ancestry 
among  the  records  of  Medford  and  Cambridge,  have  had  much  in- 
fluence on  my  mind  in  patiently  and  perseveringly  gathering  up  the 
materials,  which  have  resulted  in  this  genealogy  of  the  Halls  of  New

of   children.     His    dau.    Beulah,   m.    Capt.    Caleb    March    Chase,

man  of  great  influence  in  the  town  and  county.      He  was  a  deacon 
in  the  church   of  which   he  became  a    member  in   1742,  held  the 
office  of  selectman  ten  years  and  was  a  representative  in  the  legisla- 
lature       At  one  time  he  was  chosen   chairman  of  a  convention  held 
in   Worcester,  consisting  of  five  hundred  delegates,  which   met  to 
consider  some  difficulties  between  the  government  and  the  people; 
influential  parties  were  sent   from   Boston  to  break  up  the  meeting, 
but  the  chairman  preserved  order,  and  the  convention  passed  resolu- 
tions which  were   conciliatory,  and  the  trouble  ceased.      He  carried 
with  him   much  weight  of  character,  and  -while  he  was  benevolent 
and  conciliatory  he  could    no   doubt  assume  a  commanding   aspect

and  dignity  equal  to  any  emergency.  It  is  said  of  him  that  "  He 
was  universally  respected,  and  never  had  an  enemy."  Deacon 
Willis  Hall  succeeded  in  the  ownership  of  the  homestead  and  lived 
in  the  house  where  John  P.  Stockwell,  the  present  owner,  now  lives; 
his  father  Dea.  Percival  Hall  lived  and  died  in  the  old  house  which 
stood  near  it.  The  following  is  a  copy  of  a  letter  written  in  his  old 
age  to  his  son  Nathaniel,  dated  Sutton,  Sept.   20,  1798. 

Beloved  son,  I  received  yours  of  Sept.  10,  and  rejoice  that  God  hath 
given  you  any  degree  of  health,  and  pray  God  to  restore  you  to  per- 
fect health  ;  through  the  divine  goodness  we  are  in  as  good  a  state  of 
health  as  we  have  been  in  for  several  years.  It  is  a  general  time  of 
health  in  this  town,  although  there  are  some  deaths  ;  spiritual  death 
is  great  among  us.  The  church  of  Christ  in  this  town  is  but  small 
as  many  are  removed  by  death,  and  there  are  no  additions  ;  none 
stir  themselves  up  to  take  hold  on  God,  but  on  the  contrary,  a  dis- 
regard to  religion,  wordly  mindedness,  and  quarreling  at  the  doctrines 
of  the  Gospel,  especially  that  of  God's  absolute  sovereignty,  much  pre- 
vails. And  now  my  Dear  Son,  as  God  hath  set  you  as  a  watchman 
on  the  walls  of  his  spiritual  Jerusalem,  see  to  it  that  you  be  faithful 
to  God,  and  to  the  souls  committed  to  your  charge,  by  giving  warn- 
ing to  every  one.  I  want  to  say  more  but  my  nerves  are  so  weak 
and  such  a  tremor  in  my  hands  that  I  can  write  but  poorly.  Give 
my  kind  love  and  regard  to  Mrs  Hall  your  consort,  your  Mam 
remembers  her  love  to  both  of  you.  I  should  be  glad  if  you  would 
write  to  me  as  often  as  you  can. 

From  your  aged  and  loving  father, 

Willis  Hall. 

At  the  time  of  his  wife's  death,  he  was  as  well  as  usual  and  was 
more  than  usually  fervent  in  his  iami!y  devotions  in  the  evening,  but 
in  the  morning  he  was  found  in  a  fit  of  apoplexy,  of  which  he  died  on 
the  third  day.  The  funeral  of  his  wife  was  delayed  and  both  were 
buried  in  one  grave.      Children  were  :

form,  and  somewhat  rounded  shoulders,  a  pleasant  countenance,  his 
hair  was  brown,  and  his  features  moderately  prominent;  at  the  elec-

in  Sutton,  Mass.,  April  9,  1764  ;  d.  in  Granville,  N.  Y.,  July  31, 
1820  ;  m.,  in  Hollis,  N.  H.,  Jan.  22,  1798,  by  the  bride's  grand- 
father, Rev.  Daniel  Emerson,  Hannah,  daughter  of  Dea.  Daniel 
Emerson,  all  of  Hollis,  she  was  b.  Dec.  7,  1773,  3na<  ^.  May  22, 
1832.  He  was  brought  up  on  his  father's  farm  in  the  east  part  of 
Sutton,  Worcester  Co.,  Mass.,  and  probably  prepared  for  college  in 
Leicester  Academy, ^taught -by  Ins  biuthci1  in  law-Jesse  Green.  He 
was  taxed  in  Croydon,  N.  H.,  in  1786,  and  his  name  is  found  on  its  re- 
cords every  year  for  the  next  ten  years.  He  graduated  at  Dartmouth 
College,  1790,  and  studied  divinity  with  the  celebrated  Dr.  Nathaniel 
Emmons  of  Franklin,  Mass.,  and  adopted  his  views  of  theology  and 
manner  of  sermonizing.  His  sermons  were  generally  on  the  doc- 
trine of  a  text,  in  his  forenoon  discourse,  and  on  the  practical  in- 
ferences drawn  from  such  doctrine  in  his  afternoon  discourse.  After 
a  useful  itinerancy,  he  was  settled  as  pastor  of  the  Congregational 
church  and  society  of  Granville,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  5,  1797.  Rev.  Eli 
Smith,  of  Hollis,  his  brother-in-law,  was  present  and  took  a  promi- 
nent part  in  the  installation.  This  church  then  embraced  the  whole 
town  and  a  part  at  least  of  Pawlet,  Vt.  The  people  were  mostly 
from  New  England  and  their  descendants  have  chiefly  removed  to 
the  west.  Several  churches  of  various  denominations  have  since 
been  established  in  the  town.  The  church  is  now  nearly  extinct  and 
is  connected  with  the  Presbyterians.  The  church  building  has  been 
remodeled  and  repaired  twice,  so  that  it  bears  no  resemblance  to  its 
former  appearance.  Rev.  Dr.  William  Jackson  of  Dorset,  about, 
fifteen  miles  distant,  was  a  classmate  and  lifelong  friend  of  Mr.  Hall 
and  probably  had  something  to  do  in  introducing  him  to  the  people 
of  Granville.  They  cooperated  in  conducting  ministerial  associa- 
tions and  various  societies  for  the  promotion  of  the  cause  of  Christ. 
In  these  meetings  Mr.  Hall  was  often  chosen  scribe,  being  an  ex- 
cellent writer.  Dr.  Jackson  wrote  a  biographical  sketch  of  Mr.  Hall 
which  was  published  in  the  Boston  Recorder,  the  fo. lowing  are  a  few 
extracts  :  "  Mr.  Hall  established  in  college  the  reputation  of  being 
a  regular  studious  youth,  a  good  scholar  and  an  investigating  genius. 
His  moral  conduct  was  unexceptional  although  he  did  not  make  a 
profession  of  religion  until  after  leaving  college.  Mr.  Halls  solid 
worth  as  a  christian  divine  and  minister,  is  well  known  in  this  region. 


Halls  of  Medford  {Part  Tenth).  459 

He  had  a  weight  of  character  which  will  not  soon  be  forgotten. 
He  was  an  able  counseller.  His  discernment  of  moral  truth  and  his 
ability  to  investigate  and  defend  its  principles,  were  distinguishing. 
Loose  and  unsystematic  notions  of  divinity,  and  moral  science,  rarely 
escaped  his  observation.  He  saw  with  clearness  the  first  leadings  of 
error  in  principle  or  practice  and  opposed  them  with  candor  and  firm- 
ness. His  discernment  of  facts  in  the  matter  or  method  of  a  sermon, 
was  singularly  accute.  This  rendered  him  peculiarly  useful  in  minis- 
terial circles,  and  to  theological  students.  But  Mr.  Hall  was  more 
than  a  mere  metaphysician,  for  his  discourses  contained  the  sincere 
milk  of  the  word  ;  they  were  as  practical  as  they  were  doctrinal. 
Practical  improvement  was  both  the  moral  and  literal  end  of  every 
sermon.  In  the  practical  part  of  his  discourses  he  would  sometimes 
speak  with  great  power  and  eloquence.  His  ministry  was  blessed 
with  several  precious  revivals  of  religion,  and  the  church  was  built 
up  and  became  large  and  prosperous;  and  its  members  were  gener- 
ally active  and  devout  christians.  His  influence  was  extensive  in 
that  region.  His  praise  was  in  all  the  churches."  "  Much  study  is 
a  weariness  to  the  flesh."  Mr.  Hall  found  it  so  in  his  experience, 
and  poor  health  depressed  his  spirits,  but  he  found  consolation  at 
such  times  by  the  doctrine  of  God's  wise  and  merciful  providence, 
and  would  exclaim:  "The  Lord  reigns,  let  the  eaith  rejoice!" 
In  the  summer  of  1819  a  swelling  appeared  on  his  thigh  which  con- 
tinued to  increase  until  it  became  enormously  large,  and  caused  his 
death.  The  doctors  called  it  a  femoral  tumor,  or  blind  cancer. 
The  last  sermon  he  preached,  was  on  the  first  Sunday  of  January, 
1820,  from  the  text  "  Say  ye  to  the  righteous,  it  shall  be  well  with  him, 
say  ye  to  the  wicked,  it  shall  be  ill  with  him."  He  bore  his  last 
sickness  with  patience  and  resignation  although  he  suffered  much  pain 
for  several  months.  For  the  last  few  days  of  his  life  his  debility 
was  so  great,  that  it  was  difficult  to  understand  what  he  said.  The 
night  before  he  died,  being  sensible  that  his  end  was  near,  he  said  to 
his  wife,  put  your  trust  in  God,  there  is  consolation  in  no  other,  take 
care  of  the  children,  they  are  devoted  to  God,  bring  them  up  for  him. 
And  he  requested  that  when  he  came  to  die  they  should  sing  a  hymn 
or  Psalm  in  token  of  the  christian's  triumph  in  death.  He  died  the 
next  morning  about  ten  o'clock,  and  the  last  word  he  tried  to  say  was 
"sing." 

Mr.  Hall  had  a  very  manly  presence  ;  he  was  tall,  broad  shoul- 
dered, erect,  hair  and  eyes  dark,  eyebrows  heavy,  thin  skin  and  blond 
complexion,  with  moderately  prominent  features,  and  a  frank,   open,

manly  countenance.  He  was  generally  grave  and  dignified,  but  was 
naturally  social.  The  youth  of  Mrs.  Hannah  Hall  was  peculiarly 
happy,  having  good  educational  advantages,  and  the  most  favorable 
social  and  religious  privileges.  Her  personal  appearance  was  attractive, 
being  nearly  a  blond,  of  medium  size  and  rounded  form,  with  brown 
hair  and  expressive  hazel  eyes.  Her  manners  were  a  blending  of 
dignity  and  grace  ;  her  intellect  was  of  a  superior  order,  having  a 
clear  perception,  a  good  memory  and  a  fine  imagination.  Her  dis- 
position was  amiable  in  the  highest  degree.  She  wished  well  to 
every  human  being,  and  tried  to  make  them  happy,  but  her  affection 
was  quiet,  deep  and  enduring,  and  guided  by  a  large  stock  of  good 
practical  common  sense.  She  was  very  sensitive  and  would  some- 
times grieve  at  the  rudeness  of  others,  but  seldom  complained.  She 
commanded  the  respect  and  affection  of  all  who  knew  her,  conse- 
quently she  lived  in  peace  with  all  the  world,  and  never  had  an 
enemy.  After  her  removal  to  Granville,  she  sustained  the  arduous 
duties  of  a  pastor's  wife  with  propriety  and  acceptance  ;  in  her  house- 
hold responsibilities  she  was  prudent,  cheerful  and  enduring,  bearing 
herself  with  fortitude,  and  without  repining  amidst  her  life's  work. 
She  controlled  her  children  by  moral  and  intellectual  force  rather 
than  by  physical  power,  making  them  her  friends  and  companions. 
She  understood  the  rites  of  hospitality,  and  practiced  them  with  ease 
and  genuine  good  will,  making  people  feel  that  they    were    at   home. 


Note.  The  pedigree  of  Mrs.  Hannah  Hall  is  as  follows  :  Her  father,  Daniel  Emerson 
was  born  in  Hollis,  N.  H.,  Dec.  26,  1746,  d.  Oct.  20,  1820;  his  house  was  next  to  that 
of  his  father's  in  the  village  of  Hollis;  he  was  a  farmer  and  a  merchant;  he  held  many 
offices  of  honor  and  responsibility;  he  was  a  captain  in  the  revolutionary  war,  and  served 
at  Ticonderoga  in  1776,  and  in  Rhode  Island,  1778,  when  t  here  were  five  captains  serving 
in  his  company  in  subordinate  capacities  ;  he  was  a  justice  of  the  peace  and  a  representa- 
tive of  the  town,  and  a  deacon  in  the  church,  and  assisted  many  people  when  in  difficulty 
by  lending  them  money;  he  was  a  man  beloved  generally.  His  father  was  Rev.  Daniel 
Emerson,  b.  in  South  Reading,  Mass.,  May  20,  171  6,  o.  s.,  and  d.  1801  ;  he  graduated  at 
Harvard  college,  1739,  and  was  settled  as  the  first  pastor  of  Hollis,  1743  ;  he  was  one  of 
Whitefield's  converts,  and  a  zealous  preacher  ;  he  also  conducted  an  academy  in  his  parish  ; 
he  was  chaplain  in  the  French  and  Indian  war  in  the  expedition  to  Crown  Point  in  1755, 
and  took  precedence  in  rank  of  the  other  chaplains  on  account  of  his  having  a  coat  of 
arms  of  a  superior  order.  In  his  personal  appearance  he  is  said  to  have  resembled 
the  famous  Richard  Baxter ;  he  raised  a  large  family.  His  father  was  Peter 
Emerson,  of  South  Reading,  a  farmer,  whose  father  was  Rev.  Joseph  Emerson,  of  Mendon, 
Mass.,  who  removed  to  Concord  on  account  of  Mendon  being  destroyed  by  Indians.  His 
father  was  Thomas  Emerson,  the  emigrant  of  Ipswich,  Mass.;  the  names  of  his  two  sons, 
Joseph  and  John,  are  on  the  records  of  Ipswich,  and  his  coat  of  arms  is  on  his  gravestone 
(see  N.  E.  H.  G.  Reg.,  vol.  2,  p.  52  and  the  appendix  of  the  life  of  Rev.  Joseph  Emer- 
son  of  Wethersfield,  Conn.,  by  his  brother,  Rev.    Dr.   Ralph    Emerson,    late    professor    in 


Halls  ofMedford  {Part  Tenth).  461 

During  her  widowhood  of  twelve  years,  she  managed  her  family  and 
small  farm  very  prudently  with  very  limited  means.  She  often  asked 
advice,  but  always  relied  on  her  own  judgment.  It" was  her  custom  to 
read  a  portion  of  God's  word  in  her  family,  morning  and  evening, 
and  lead  them  in  prayer,  all  standing  ;  and  also  to  ask  God's  bless- 
ing before  eating  while  all  were  seated  around  the  table,  and  of  re- 
turning thanks  before  rising.  Thus,  steadfast  in  her  acknowledg- 
ment of  divine  favors,  and  looking  to  God  constantly  for  all  bless- 
ings, she  was  peculiarly  sustained,  and  her  cares  and  burdens  very 
much  lightened.  During  her  last  and  lingering  illness  (a  kind  of  in- 
ward fever,  to  which  she  was  always  subject),  her  mind  was  calm 
and  serene,  trusting  in  God,  and  by  no  means  complaining  or  exact- 
ing, or  requiring  any  unnecessary  service.  And  when  the  day  of 
death  came,  she  seemed  to  be  sensible  of  the  wonderous  reality  of 
bidding  adieu  to  all  she  loved  on  earth,  and  of  going  to  be  with 
Christ,  which  is  far  better  ;  and  her  eyes  were  bright  and  expressive 
until  she  passed  away,  without  a  struggle  or  a  groan,  like  the  clear 
shining  of  the  setting  sun,  which  biddeth  good  night  and  is  gone  to 
be  a  rising;  sun  in  the  far  off  land.

Rev.  Joseph  Emerson's  Seminary,  at  Wethersfield,  Conn.;  after  her 
mother's  death,  in  1832,  she  went  to  live  with  her  sister,  Mrs. 
Hannah  E.  Crane,  and  assisted  in  bringing  up  her  children  and  pro- 
viding for  boarders  ;  they  had  generally  two  students  from  college  to

Sutton  and  see  the  place  where  we  once  all  lived  together  under  the 
parental  roof  and  find  no  father,  no  mother,  and  only  one  brother 
remaining,  I  feel  as  none  knows,  that  has  not  been  deprived  of  a 
father's  house  ;  though  treated  kindly  by  my  brother,  yet  to  visit  that 
spot  1  feel  little  inclined  ;  when  I  call  to  mind  my  tender  parents  I 
feel  as  compared  to  them  I  have  no  friends,  not  that  I  mean  to  com- 
plain of  my  present  situation  for  I  am  comfortably  provided  for."

of  the  council  of  the  State  of  Vermont  ;  and  one  of  the  trustees  of 
Middlebury  College  ;  he  possessed  a  good  deal  of  natural  reserve  of 
manners,  but  his  meekness  and  his  goodness  of  heart,  together  with 
his  great  ability  rendered  him  popular,  and  people  trusted  him,  and 
conferred  offices  upon  him  ;  his  christian  character  was  one  of 
interest  ;  his  conversion  was  very  marked  ;  he  was  first  admitted  to 
the  Congregational  church  in  1800,  but  having  changed  his  views  of 
the  mode  of  baptism,  he  united  with  the  Baptist  church  in  1813,  and 
became  its  chief  supporter,  and  when  the  church  was  without  a 
pastor  he  conducted  the  devotional  exercises  ;  he  donated  the  par- 
sonage and  contributed  liberally  towards  building  the  meeting  house, 
and  at  his  death  left  an  annuity  of  200  dollars  for  the  support  of  the 
minister  and  the  use  of  twenty  pews.  His  liberality  was  also  private 
to  a  considerable  extent,  for  his  substantial  aid  always  accompanied 
his  tender  sympathy  for  the  destitute  and  the  afflicted  and  the  friend- 
less. In  the  later  period  of  his  life  his  gifts  to  benevolent  objects 
exceeded  his  income,  and  yet  at  his  death  he  left  $60,000  to  his

life  and  enjoyed  the  christian's  consolations;  he  was  one  of  the 
piUars  of  the  Christian  church  in  Calais,  and  was  active  and  edifying 
in  conducting  its  prayer  meetings,  and  was  greatly  respected  for  his 
consistent  and  righteous  lite.  And  when  his  end  drew  nigh  he  did 
not  look  upon  it  with  fear  and  dread  or  doubt,  or  indifference,  but 
with  the  confidence  of  hope,  inspired  by  faith,  which  took  hold  of 
immortality.      He  was  much  in  praise    for    God's    goodness    to  him

even  down  to  old  age,  and  his  desire  was  to  depart  and  be  with  Christ. 
The  text  used  at  his  funeral  was,  Ps.  37:37,  l*  Mark  the  perfect  man 
and  behold  the  upright  ;  for  the  end  of  that  man  is  peace. "  He  had, 
ten  children,  seven  of  whom  survived  him.  In  the  midst  of  hard- 
ships incident  to  a  new  country,  he  wisely  found  means  to  give  his 
children  the  advantages  of  a  good  education,  thus  preventing  that 
degeneration  to  which  the  children  of  new  settlers  are  so  much  ex- 
posed.     They  were  :

about  18 13;  in  about  two  years  afterwards  Sullivan  worked  his  way 
by  degrees  west,  until  he  arrived  at  St.  Louis,  in  18 17,  which  he  made 
his  future  home.  He  was  appointed  one  of  the  first  watchmen  of 
that  city,  and  soon  became  captain  of  police,  and  retained  the  office 
for  ten  years.  He  was  deputy  sheriff"  in  1833,  and  became  alderman 
for  one  year,  after  which  he  would  not  accept  of  any  office. 
About  this  time  he  became  engaged  in  the  St.  Louis  and  New 
Orleans  transportation  business,  which  was  profitable  and  he  became 
extensively  known  ;  his  uniform  kindness  and  gentlemanly  bearing

an  active  part  in   its  affairs,  making  it  daily   visits.      He  was  on  his

way  in  one  these  visits  Nov.  27,  1875,  when  he  stopped  at  the  house 
of  his  son-in-law,  Mr.  Sloss,  and  feeling  faint,  reclined  upon  the 
sofa,  when  he  soon  expired.  Capt.  Blood  had  a  noble  presence,  and 
was  guided  by  principles  of  unswerving  integrity  in  all  of  his  inter- 
course with  his  fellow  men  and  he  possessed  good  judgment  with 
great  force  of  character.  He  was  willing  to  work,  and  made  his 
labors  result  in  success.  Rev.  Dr.  Nichols  said  of  him  in  his  funeral 
discourse  :  "  A  just  and  good  man,  honored  and  beloved  by  all,  has 
been  taken  from  us.  One  of  the  oldest  of  the  surviving  citizens, 
who  helped  to  lay  the  foundations  of  this  imperial  city  ;  his  death 
is  the  removal  of  an  ancient  landmark.  His  life  was  all  of  a  piece, 
the  life  of  an  honest  man  ;  men  confided  in  him  and  were  not  be- 
trayed. The  wealth  that  he  gained  he  honestly  earned,  let  us  honor 
his  memory,  for  such  men  do  not  live  in  vain.  He  was  a  man  of 
decided  convictions,  although  quiet  and  unobstrusive  in  his  manners, 
yet  he  was  one  of  those  resolute  souls  whom  nothing  could  shake 
when  once  determined  ;  such  men  are  rock  men,  and  instead  of  drift- 
ing with  the  current,  they  shape  its  course.  He  was  a  companionable 
man,  possessing  a  sweet  cheerful  temper,  a  sincere  heart,  and  patient 
soul,  delighting  in  the  company  of  little  children  as  though  a  child's 
heart  was  his.  He  was  a  christian  man,  a  man  of  prayer,  he  loved 
the  prayer  meeting,  the  sanctuary,  and  company  of  christians.  But 
he  relied  not  on  his  own  righteous  life,  he  was  remarkably  humble, 
and  rested  only  in  the  righteousness  of  his  Redeemer.  Old  age, 
with  him  was  like  a  mellow  autumnal  sunset,  all  aglow  with  golden 
light,  and  full  of  peace.  For  such  a  man  death  is  gain,  and  the 
hope  of  heaven  glorious.  Then  let  us  treasure  up  these  traits  of  our 
brother  for  our  profit,  for  there  is  nothing  more  worthy  of  our  study 
than  the  lives  of  men ;  they  are  more  instructive  than  books. 
How  precious  is  the  legacy  of  a  good  man's  life,  and  memory  "  ! 
The  mortal  remains  of  Capt.  Blood  were  buried  in  Bellefontain 
cemetery.  It  is  worthy  of  remark,  that  his  wife  was  a  fit  com- 
panion for  such  a  man,  and  he  showed  his  good  judgment  and  force  of 
will  and  energy  of  character  in  returning  from  a  far  country,  in  those 
days  of  difficult  travel,  for  the  sake  of  obtaining  a  treasure  which 
proved  to  him,  more  precious  than  diamonds  and  gold.  His  success 
in  life  and  his  great  usefulness,  as  well  as  his  happiness,  greatly 
depended  upon  her  influence.      Children  were  :

mother  was  a  granddaughter  of  Rev.  John  Rogers,  the  martyr,  who 
was  burned  at  the  stake  at  Smithfield,  England,  1555  ;  Rev.  Thomas 
Carter  inherited  the  martyr's  bible,  and  it  is  now  in  the  possession  of 
one  of  his  descendants  in  Lunenburgh,  Worcester  Co.,  Mass.,  by 
the  name  of  Houghton.  Oliver  Hall  inherited  his  father's  home- 
stead ;  he  was  a  gunsmith  by  trade,  and  possessed  a  skillful,  mechani- 
cal genius  ;  he  helped  to  construct  the  first  machine  for  making  pins 
ever  made  in  this  country  •,  it  was  invented  by  Moses  L.  Morse  ; 
Mr.  Hall  also  manufactured  surgical  and  other  instruments,  which 
were  ordered  from  all  parts  of  the  country  ;  he  was  a  good  writer, 
and  kept  the  town  books,  as  town  clerk,  for  fifteen  years  ;  he  was 
also  justice  of  the  peace,  and  held  other  offices  of  the  town  ;  he 
was  a  man  of  large  size  and  rounded  form  ;  his  kindness  of  heart 
and  general  intelligence  rendered  his  company  very  agreeable;  his 
faculties  were  well  preserved  to  very  old  age.  In  1846  I  had 
the  pleasure  of  visiting  him^  and  of  consulting  the  town  records 
which  were  then  in  his  hands.      Children  were  :

theology  with  Rev.  Dr.  J.  Bushnell,  of  Cornwall,  Vt.,  and  was  or- 
dained a  Congregational  minister,  with  a  view  to  becoming  a  mis- 
sionary to  the  Cherokee  Indians  ;  but  circumstances  forbidding  his 
cherished  desire  in  this  respect,  he  became  the  pastor  of  the  Presby- 
terian church  at  Hampton,  in  the  town  of  Westmoreland,  Oneida 
Co.,  N.  Y.,  about  1823,  where  he  labored  until  1833  ;  his  pastorate 
was  very  acceptable  and  uncommonly  useful  ;  he  was  untiring  in  his 
diligence,  zeal  and  fidelity  ;  his  sermons  and  prayers  were  full  of 
the  spirit,  direct  and  effectual.  He  sought  to  do  his  best,  from  day 
to  day,  to  glorify  the  Gospel  of  the  grace  of  God.  He  was  a  man 
of  strong  convictions,  and  showed  a  singular  courage  in  maintaining 
them.  Seeing  the  demoralizing  tendency  of  the  prevailing  use  of 
intoxicating  drinks,  he  formed  a  temperance  society  in  his  parish, 
the  second  that  was  formed  in  the  State  of  New  York,  west  of  Al- 
bany. He  was  very  benevolent,  and  gave  freely  according  to  his 
means  to  every  good  cause  ;  and  so  far  from  being  greedy  of  gain, 
he  often  suffered  in  his  dealings,  submitting,  without  controversy,  to 
unrighteous  charges.  In  1833  he  became  an  agent  for  the  Home 
Missionary  Society,  in  which  service  he  visited  annually  the  churches 
in  seventeen  counties  in  central  and  eastern  New  York  ;  and  his 
usefulness  became  as  extensive  as  was  his  work.  He  was  highly 
esteemed  as  far  as  known  for  his  christian  consistency,  good  judg- 
ment and  fervent  piety.  His  family  were  located  for  several  years 
at  Utica,  N.  Y.,  and  then  removed  to  Clinton,  N.  Y.,  that  his 
children  might  enjoy  better  educational  advantages.  At  the  death  of 
his  first  wife  he  was  left  desolate  and  afflicted,  and  really  sick,  with 
a  family  of  children  to  be  cared  for.  This  led  him  to  contract  a 
second  marriage,  in  a  few  months,  with  'Julia,  widow  of  Robert 
Wilson,  and  dau.  of  Rev.  J.  B.  Preston,  of  Rupert,  Vt.,  with  whom 
he  lived  but  one  month,  when  he  was  called  away  by  death,  it  being 
only  about  eleven  months  after  the  death  of  his  first  wife. 

Hannah  E.  (Hall)  Crane  was  educated  at  the  female  seminary  of 
her  uncle  Rev.  Joseph  Emerson,  in  Byfield,  Mass.  ;  and  after  the 
death  of  her  father  she  established  a  select  school  at  home,  where 
she  was  very  successful,  and  especially  useful  to  her  younger  brothers. 
She  possessed  much  energy  of  purpose  and  decision  of  character, 
blended  with  great  beauty  of  person  and  loveliness  of  disposition  ; 
none  knew  her  but  to  love  her,  she  was  a  kind  hearted  sister,  a 
devoted  wife,  and  loving  mother  ;  indeed  her  kind  sympathy  was  not 
confined  at  home,  although  she  made  her  home  a  happy  one, 
and  drew  many  to  it  who  needed  to  share  for  a  time  in  its  comforts  ;

her  heart  was  with  the  poor  and  the  needy,  the  downcast  and 
suffering;  she  sympathized  deeply  with  the  oppressed  and  the  en- 
slaved, and  opened  her  doors  and  her  hospitality  to  those  who 
labored  for  its  extinction  ;  her  death  was  greatly  lamented,  not  only 
by  her  family  and  near  of  kin,  but  by  all  of  her  acquaintances,  both 
the  high  and  the  low,  the  rich  and  the  poor,  saint  and  sinner.  Rev. 
Abijah  and  Hannah  E.  (Hall)  Crane  were  both  lovely  in  their  lives, 
and  not  far  separated  in  their  deaths.  Their  bodies  lie  in  Clinton 
graveyard  ;  they  sleep  peacefully  in  Jesus,  awaiting  the  quickening 
of  a  blessed  resurrection,  while  their  souls  are  gone  to  their  exceeding 
great  and  rich  reward  in  heaven.      Children  were  : 

i.  Edwin  Hall,  b.  in  Westmoreland,  N.  Y.,  May  30,  1825  ;  d. 
at  Memiken,  Persia,  Aug.  27,  1854  ;  m.,  Feb.  22,  1852,  in  Otisco, 
N.  Y.,  Ann  Eliza,  dau.  of  Elisha  and  Cynthia  (Dada)  Cowles,  b. 
Dec.  30,  1828  ;  she  m.,  2d,  Mr.  Powell,  a  returned  missionary,  and 
died  about  1866.  She  was  a  woman  of  uncommon  force  of  char- 
acter, of  distinguished  intellectual  ability  and  amiability  of  disposition  ; 
she  possessed  an  undoubted  faith  in  the  doctrines  of  Christianity  and 
was  endowed  with  a  fervent  zeal  for  their  promotion  and  advance- 
ment. Mr.  Crane  was  trained  to  strict  obedience,  and  exact  truth- 
fulness, and  was  admitted  to  the  church  of  Clinton  at  an  early  age  ; 
he  graduated  at  Hamilton  College  with  the  first  honor  of  his  class  in 
1841,  after  which  he  engaged  in  teaching  the  academy  at  Owego, 
N.  Y.  ;  also  studied  law  with  his  Uncle  Willis  Hall,  then  of  Albany, 
who  was  confident  that  Edwin  would  become  eminent  as  a  judge, 
however  he  decided  to  become  a  minister  of  the  Gospel,  and  entered 
Auburn  Theological  Seminary  in  1848,  and  graduated  in  1851  ;  while 
in  the  seminary  he  considered  it  to  be  his  duty  to  devote  himself  to 
the  cause  of  foreign  missions,  consequently  he  offered  his  services  to 
the  A.  B.  C.  F.  M.,  to  be  sent  to  any  field  of  labor  where  they 
might  consider  his  services  most  needed  ;  he  was  sent  to  Oroomia, 
Persia,  and  was  assigned  to  the  mountain  district  of  Garwar  and 
stationed  at  Memiken,  where  he  labored  with  much  success  for  about 
two  years,  when  constrained  by  a  sense  of  duty  he  rode  fifteen  miles 
to  see  the  sick  governor  of  Dizza,  of  whom  he  took  the  typhus  fever, 
and  died  in  two  or  three  weeks  ;  thus  this  learned  and  conscientious 
and  amiable  young  missionary  was  called  to  his  rest,  and  his  reward, 
in  the  early  morning  of  his  work  ;  his  classmates  in  the  theological  semi- 
nary were  Prof.  Eells  and  Prof.  Morris  of  Lane  Seminary,  Cincinnati, 
and  President  Seelye  of  Amherst  College  ;  Prof.  Eells  was  his  class- 
mate and  roommate  both  in  college  and  seminary.      Children  were,  i

{Family  486.)  Willis  Hall5,  Nathaniel4,  Willis*,  Percival2, 
John1:  b.  at  Middle  Granville,  Washington  Co.,  N.  Y.,  April  1st, 
1 801  ;  m.,  in  New  York,  March  27th,  1847,  Helen  Boucher,  wid. 
of  Capt.  Handly,  he  d.  s.  p.  June  14th,  1868,  in  New  York  city.  He 
enjoyed  early  advantages  of  education,  graduated  at  Yale  College  in 
1824,  with  the  highest  honors  of  his  class.  After  leaving  college 
he  engaged  as  teacher  of  the  academy  in  Norwich,  Conn.,  for  a  short 
time,  and  then  commenced  the  study  of  law  with  Judge  Gould  of 
Litchfield,  Conn.,  which  he  completed  with  Judge  Johnson,  in 
New  York.  After  being  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1827,  he  com- 
menced the  practice  of  his  profession  at  Mobile,  Ala.,  but  in  1832, 
he  established  himself  in  New  York,  where  he  rose  to  distinction 
in  his  profession  and  as  a  leader,  orator  and  statesman.  In  1836,  he 
was  elected  by  the  Whig  party  to  the  legislative  assembly  at 
Albany,  as  one  of  the  representatives  of  the  city  and  county  of  New 
York.  This  assembly  was  noted  for  its  large  number  of  able  men. 
As  chairman  of  the  committee  on  banks  and  banking,  he  introduced 
a  bill  which  became  a  law,  entirely  changing  the  system  of  banking. 
It  consisted  of  two  main  features  ;  the  first  was  to  make  the  privi- 
lege of  banking  free,  in  order  to  stimulate  enterprize  and  industry  ; 
the  second  was  to  guarantee  the  redemption  of  bank  bills,  by  obliging 
banks  of  issue  to  deposit  collateral  securities  with  the  comptroller  of 
the  state.  Both  of  these  provisions  of  the  law  were  subsequently 
adopted  by  the  Federal  government,  and  have  become  the  settled 
policy  of  the  nation. 

In  the  fall  of  1838,  Mr.  Hall  was  appointed  to  the  office  of 
attorney  general  in  Gov.  Seward's  cabinet,  and  in  all  the  duties  of 
the  several  departments  connected  with  the  office,  he  conducted 
himself  with  such  suavity  of  manners  and  distinguished  ability  that 
he  received  the  highest  commendation.  Hon.  Thurlow  Weed, 
whose  judgment  of  men  was  very  accurate,  said  that  Willis  Hall 
was  a  brilliant  genius,  and  Gov.  Seward  said  in  making  choice  of 
Willis  Hall  as  his  attorney  he  made  no  mistake.      There  were  two

matters  of  great  importance  that  required  his  attention,  which  had 
come  down  from  the  former  administration,  they  were  the  anti-rent 
troubles  in  the  manorage  of  Rensselaerwick  and  the  Canada  border 
difficulties.  Mr.  Hall  investigated  the  first  and  devised  a  plan  of 
settlement,  equitable  in  its  nature  and  at  the  same  time  reducing  the 
objectionable  features  of  those  ancient  leases  and  bringing  them  into 
accordance  with  American  principles.  This  plan  was  subsequently 
carried  into  effect  by  legislative  and  judicial  action,  and  the  troubles 
were  ended.  With  regard  to  the  Canada  border  difficulties,  Mr. 
Hall  gave  his  official  opinion  that  Canadians  committing  depredations 
in  the  state  might  be  tried  in  the  state,  in  the  proper  courts,  for  their 
offences  if  they  could  be  arrested  within  its  borders.  This  opinion 
ivas  approved  by  the  authorities  at  Washington,  but  the  next  adminis- 
tration at  Washington  disapproved  of  it.  When  Alexander  Mc  Leod, 
a  Canadian,  had  been  arrested  at  Buffalo  and  indicted  for  the  murder 
of  Amos  Durfee,  a  citizen  of  the  state  of  New  York,  Lord  Pal- 
merston,  Prime  Minister  of  England,  and  Daniel  Webster,  Secretary 
of  State  at  Washington,  demanded  Mc  Leod  on  habeas  corpus,  the 
case  was  tried  by  the  Supreme  Court  of  New  York  and  the  correct- 
ness of  Mr.  Hall's  opinion  was  sustained,  and  Mc  Leod  was  tried  at 
Utica,  in  1 841,  and  was  cleared,  having  clearly  proved  an  alibi. 
These  trials  involved  national  interests,  and  a  perfect  knowledge  of 
international  law,  but  they  gave  to  Attorney  General  Hall  a  favora- 
ble and  more  than  national  reputation.  After  Mr.  Hall's  term  of 
office  had  ended,  he  still  continued  to  reside  at  Albany,  and  was 
elected  a  representative  of  that  city  and  county  to  the  legislature  for 
the  next  year.  The  part  which  he  took  in  that  assembly  may  be 
found  by  reference  to  its  documents. 

His  combined  duties  political  and  legislative,  proved  too  exhausting 
for  his  strong  and  vigorous  constitution.  The  path  of  more  eminent 
success  in  political  life  seemed  open  to  him,  when  in  the  autumn  of 
1843.  ne  was  struck  down  by  an  attack  of  apoplexy  resulting  in 
paralysis  of  his  left  side  ;  from  this  he  never  fully  recovered  but  his 
mind  remained  clear,  and  active.  While  temporarily  absent  in 
Cuba,  he  received  the  nomination  for  governor  of  the  State  of  New 
York,  which  honor,  however  fie  was  obliged  to  decline  on  account 
of  his  impaired  health.  In  the  presidential  campaign  of  1844,  he 
was  nominated  by  the  Whig  party  for  elector-at-large  on  the  Clay 
ticket.  He  was  not  only  a  zealous  political  supporter  of  Henry 
Clay's,  but  his  warm  personal  triend.  In  the  same  year  he  resumed 
his  professional    duties   in  the  city  of  New  York,  and    was   elected

counsellor  to  the  board  of  aldermen.  He  was  also  professor  in  the 
law  school  at  Ballston,  New  York.  In  March  1847,  ne  married  in 
New  York,  Mrs.  Handly,  widow  of  an  English  officer.  She  was  an 
English  lady  of  noble  family,  remarkably  gifted  and  highly  accom- 
plished. After  residing  for  several  years  in  New  York  and  Albany, 
he  traveled  with  his  family  for  three  years  in  Europe. 

After  his  return  to  New  York  he  retired  from  public  life,  and 
devoted  much  time  to  reading,  keeping  pace  with  the  rapid  progress 
in  various  departments  of  knowledge  ;  but  he  was  most  keenly  in- 
terested in  studying  those  forces  whose  results  would  effect  the 
nation's  prosperity,  especially  as  great  troubles  grew  more  menancing, 
and  culminated  in  civil  war  j  that  high  toned  patriotism,  the  inspira- 
tion of  his  younger  years,  never  waned,  and  now,  that  the  infirmities 
of  age  compelled  him  to  retire  from  the  field  of  action,  his  heart  was 
still  in  the  struggle  ;  from  the  quiet  of  his  library,  he  looked  on, 
with  the  far  seeing  eye  of  a  statesman,  following  the  movements  of 
the  armies,  and  gave  opinions  as  to  results,  which  were  prophetic. 
He  usually  passed  his  summer  among  those  picturesque  hills,  over- 
looking Nyack-on-the-Hudson  ;  he  loved  those  "rocks  and  rills," 
those  u  woods  and  templed  hills,"  and  that  noble  river,  not  only 
because  he  gloried  in  being  "  an  American  citizen,"  but  because  his 
heart  ever  thrilled,  responsive  to  all  that  was  beautiful  or  grand  in 
nature  ;  his  eminent  social  qualities,  genial  nature,  courteous  manners 
and  noble  bearing,  his  brilliant  genius  and  lofty  magnanimity  made 
him  leader  and  favorite  in  every  circle  in  which  he  moved  ;  yet, 
possessing  to  a  large  degree,  that  true  modesty,  ever  the  companion 
of  true  greatness  ;  none  came  within  the  sway  of  his  influence,  without 
being  impressed  by  its  elevating  power;  his  great  heart  had  sympathy 
for  all  his  kind,  even  the  dumb  animals  found  a  friend  in  him.  His 
death  occurred  at  the  house  of  his  younger  brother  Dr.  Edwards  Hall, 
after  an  illness  of  a  few  days,  not  considered  by  himself  as  very 
serious,  being  overcome  by  the  severe  heat  of  the  season,  but  its 
suddenness  was  according  to  his  desire  which  he  had  often  expressed, 
for  he  dreaded  to  be  long  sick,  and  he  looked  for  a  brighter  and 
a  better  state  of  existence  in  the  world  to  come  through  faith  in 
Jesus  Christ ;  his  body  was  laid  in  Woodlawn  cemetery,  dust  to  dust, 
ashes  to  ashes,  until  the  morning  of  a  glorious  resurrection.

few  miles  from  Bloomington,  where  he  located  a  quarter-section  and 
spent  several  years  getting  it  into  cultivation,  and  left  it  a  little  before 
a  railroad  was  constructed  through  it,  consequently  failed  of  realizing 
the  benefit  of  the  rise  in  the  price  of  real  estate  ;  he  returned  to 
the  homestead  in  Granville,  N.  Y.,  in  1848,  and  slate  quarries  on 
it  becoming  valuable,  rendered  his  pecuniary  condition  quite  com- 
fortable. When  he  was  young  he  learned  the  art  of  dentistry, 
which  he  practiced  for  many  years  ;  he  was  a  very  tall,  broad 
shouldered  man,  large  frame  and  of  a  spare  form,  dark  brown  and 
massive  hair  which  held  its  color  without  much  change  to  the  last, 
dark  grey  and  partially  hazel  eyes,  and  prominent  features  ;  he  was 
a  man  of  much  intelligence  and  a  great  reader,  was  an  elder  in  the 
Presbyterian  church,  the  same  which  had  been  Congregational,  and 
of  which  his  father  had  been  pastor  ;  he  was  a  very  kind  man,  and

Delphine  E.  DeOlin,  who  was  born  in  Bordeaux,  France,  and  was  a 
niece  of  Louis  DeOlin,  an  officer   in  the    French  army  stationed   at 
Mobile,  their  fourth  child  was  Delphine  E.,  who  became  the  wife  of 
Daniel  E.  Hall,  she  was  a  woman  of  superior  intellect,  ardent  affec- 
tion  and    graceful    manners.      Mr.  Hall  was   a  man  of  great  energy 
and  self  reliance,  and  endurance  ;  he  lived  with  his  uncle  Jonathan 
Hall   when    he  was   eight   years   old,  and    at    ten    he    lived  with   his 
maternal   grandfather    in   Hollis  for  whom    he   was   named  ;   on   one 
occasion  he  did  not  do  just  as  his  grandfather  desired  or  expected,  and 
soon  after  by  way  of  punishment  he  brought  from  Boston  a  new  hat  for 
Daniel  ;  this  subdued   the  boy  much   more  effectually  than   a  severe 
fl°gg'ng  would   have    done,  and   it  illustrates   the  disposition  of  both 
grandfather  and  grandson  ;   in  his  teens  he  was  not  afraid  of  hard  work, 
evidently  determined  to  do  something  and  to  become  something  in  the 
world  ;   he  succeeded   by  his  own  efforts  in  preparing  for  college  and 
then  obtained  a  loan  from  his  uncle  Rev.  Dr.  Ralph  Emerson,  Prof,  in 
Andover  Theological  Seminary  (as  his  brother  Willis  had  previously 
done),  which  enabled  him  to  study  four  years  in  Yale  College  and  to 
graduate   in  1834  ;   he  studied   law  with   his  brother  Willis   in  New 
York,  and  settled  at  Mobile,  where  he  soon  had  a  practice  of  $10,000 
a  year  ;   in  1 844  he  visited  the  north  with   his  family,  the  thought  of 
the  coming  war   seemed    to   be  uppermost   in  his  mind,  and    he  used 
his  influence   in    private  conversation  and    to  some  extent   in   public 
speeches,   in   favor  of  the   election  of   Henry  Clay  to   the  office   of 
president  of  the  United  States,  hoping  thereby,  if  successful,  to  avert 
the  dreadful   conflict  ;  but  we  at    the   north  did   not    suppose  such    a 
calamity  possible,  and   had  it  not  been  for  such  a  general  sentiment 
of  security,  Clay  probably  would  have  been  elected  and  the  conflict 
might   have   been   avoided  ;  he  could    not   bear   the   thought  of  the 
fratricidal    strife   which    his    keen   foresight   plainly   saw    in    the    not 
distant  future.      He  did  all   he  could  to  prevent    it,    Dut  it  came,  yet 
he  did  not    see  it  ;   he  was    mercifully  taken   away  from    the  evil   to 
come.      He  was  an  earnest    matter  of   fact  man,  and    took   things  as 
they  were,  not  as  he  would   like  to  have  them  ;    he  was  brave,  even 
bold  in  defence,  and  would  not  brook  wrong  ;  there  was  no  duplicity 
in  his  nature,  nor  was  his  mind  unbalanced   in  the  least  by  any  very 
large   degree  of   imagination  or    fancy.      The   bent  of  his  mind  was 
realistic  and  yet  he  had  a  kind  heart,  and  a  tender  sympathy  and  very 
ardent  affections  ;   he  wished  well  to  his  kindred,  and  was  willing  to 
demonstrate  it  by  deeds  of  substantial  value.       His  children  were  bap- 
tized in  the  Presbyterian  church  ;  the  surviving  children  were  :

The  record  of  the  above  family  was  furnished  by  Miss  L.  M.  R. 
Abbott,  of  Groton,  Mass.,  who  is  a  descendant  of  Rev.  Willard 
Hall3;  her  father's  family  is  found  on  page  115  of  the  genealogy  of 
the  Abbotts.  She  is  the  daughter  of  Rev.  Ephraim  Abbott,  one  of  the 
compilers  of  that  work.

1703;  d.  March  14,  1779,  ae.  76  ;  m.,  Sept.,  1729,  Abigail  Cotton, 
of  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  d.  Oct.  20,  1789,  a  descendant  of  Rev.  Mr. 
Cotton,  the  first  minister  of  Boston.  Mr.  Hall  graduated  at  Harvard 
College,  in  1722,  and  was  ordained  pastor  of  the  church  of  Westford, 
Nov.  15,  1727  ;  the  church  was  organized  a  little  before  on  the  same 
day,  and  the  town  was  incorporated  Sept.,  1729,  and  taken  off  from 
the  west  part  of  Chelmsford.  Mr.  Hall  has  been  represented  as  a 
pious  and  useful  minister.  Dr.  Payson,  the  pastor  of  Chelsea,  spoke 
in  strong  terms  of  the  gratification  of  having  been  acquainted  with  him, 
and  mentioned  the  clearness  and  strength  of  his  mind  as  remarkable  ; 
he  not  only  acted  as  a  minister  but  as  a  physician,  the  necessity  of 
the  times  requiring  it,  this  greatly  extended  his  usefulness  as  well  as 
his  labors  ;  he  looked  well  to  the  general  welfare  of  the  people  of 
the  town,  and  consequently  was  a  strenuous  advocate  for  common 
schools  and  general  education  ;  when  the  town  on  one  occasion  con- 
sidered it  expedient  on  a  special  emergency  not  to  lay  the  required 
school  tax,  he  complained  to  the  general  court  of  the  neglect,  and 
arraigned  the  people  of  his  charge  (the  town)  for  their  delinquincy  ; 
his  action  in  the  matter  offended  many,  as  he  knew  it  would,  but  he 
would  not  allow  the  law  in  favor  of  supporting  schools  to  be  set 
aside  on  any  emergency,  and  would    make  no  compromise  with  de- 


Halls  of  Concord  and  Stow.  5 1 9 

linquincy  in  this  matter.  Mr.  Hall,  like  ministers  in  his  day,  owned 
a  good  farm  ;  he  had  a  fine  taste  in  agriculture,  and  cultivated  fruit 
trees,  plums,  apricots,  peaches,  pears,  apples,  currants,  black,  white 
and  red  ;  his  garden,  his  orchard,  and  his  fields  bore  witness  to  his 
skill  and  industry  years  after  his  death.  His  pastorate  was  a  long 
one,  ending  only  with  his  death,  including  a  period  of  fifty-one  years.

years  old,  and  became  a  wealthy  tanner  ;  his  tan-yard  was  on  the

much  force  of  character  and  fervent  piety,  trained  in  early  life  under 
the  ministry  and  personal  influence  of  Rev.  Daniel  Emerson,  who 
4  was  eminent  for  eloquence,  learning,  and  for  a  certain  indefinable 
moral  elevation  and  purity  ;   which  blended  with  a  sympathetic  spirit, 


Note.  "  The  Pooles  were  an  ancient  and  honorable  English  family  who  derived  their 
name  from  the  lordship  or  manor  of  Poole  in  county  of  Chester,  where  the  family  were 
seated  as  early  as  the  reign  of  Henry  III.  The  first  in  the  pedigree  was  Robert  De  Pull, 
afterwards  the  name  became  de  la  Pole  and  then  de  Poole  and  finally  Poole.  One  branch 
settled  in  Ireland,  where  they  are  still  lords  of  the  manor,  the  eldest  branch  in  England'is 
represented  by  the  present  Sir  Francis  Poole,  Baronet  of  Poole  in  county  Chester,  another 
branch  was  represented  by  Admiral  Sir  Charles  Morice  Poole  K.  C.  B.,  of  the  county  of 
Devon,  and  another  by  Sir  Peter  Van  Nolten  Poole,  Baronet,  of  Fodenham,  county  of 
Gloucester.  Of  the  American  branches,  Elizabeth  Poole,  b.  1589,  came  to  Taunton,  Mass., 
1637,  and  bought  land;  was  a  woman  of  culture  and  great  influence,  she  d.  1654.  But 
the  ancestor  of  Mrs.  Hall  was  John  Poole,  he  came  from  England  in  1632,  and  settled  at 
Cambridge;  he  held  200  acres  in  Lynn,  and  finally  lived  in  Reading.  His  only  son  was 
Capt.  Jona  Poole  who  was  a  distinguished  officer  in  the  war  of  King  Philip  ;  he  was  pres- 
ident of  the  council  1675,  6,  and  representative  in  general  assembly  of  1677.  His  dau.

Mrs.  Mehitable  Hall.

bringing  it  into  a  close  and  warm  contact  with  the  hearts  of  men, 
was  by  its  assimilating  influence  more  effective  than  his  eloquence 
or  logic  in  moulding  the  religious  life  of  his  people  at  Hollis.'  It 
was  the  spirit  of  such  teaching  and  example  that  Mrs.  Hall  received 
and  imparted  to  her  own  family  life.  It  was  based  on  such  princi- 
ples as  these,  reverence  for  the  divine,  faith  in  the  unseen,  obedience 
to  just  authority,  subjection  of  inclination  to  duty,  love  of  truth, 
unwearied  effort  for  self-improvement,  living  not  for  one's  self  alone." 
There  is  not  much  known  about  Mr.  Hall,  but  it  is  presumed  that 
he  was  worthy  both  of  his  distinguished  father,  and  more  eminent

10,  1875,  in  the  95th  year  of  his  age;  m.,  1st,  soon  after  his  settle- 
ment in  Delaware,  Junia,  dau.  of  Chancellor  Killen,  a  lady  of 
beauty  and  accomplishments,  she  died  in  1824,  leaving  an  only  child 
Lucinda,  a  striking  representation  of  the  mother,  she  m.  Dr.  Robert 
H.  Porter,  of  Wilmington.  Her  father  was  much  attached  to  her 
and  made  daily  calls  at  her  house,  and  her  children  succesively  re- 
ceived their  rudimentary  education  in  his  study,  one  of  whom,  Wil- 
lard Hall  Porter,  succeeds  him  in  the  practice  of  law  at  Wilmington. 
Mrs.  Porter  died  in  1869,  and  Dr.  Porter  died  in  1876.  Mr  Hall 
m.,  2d,  in  1826,  Harriet  Hilliard.  a.  most  excellent  woman  who  sur- 
vived him.  Of  the  early  life  of  Mr.  Hall  but  little  is  known  except 
that  he  had  to  walk  two  miles  to  school,  and  that  he  attended  the 
Academy  and  was  thoroughly  prepared  for  college  ;  entered  Harvard 
College  in  1795,  and  graduated  in  1799,  a  thorough  scholar,  and  pos- 
sessing the  best  of  morals.  He  began  the  study  of  law  in  the  office 
of  Judge  Dana  at  Groton,  in  1800,  and  continued  three  years,  when 
in  1803,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Hillsboro  Co.,  N.  H.  He 
had  now  a  good  foundation  in  every  respect  for  a  career  of  future 
usefulness  and  success.  As  New  England  had  more  lawyers  than 
were  needed,  he  sought  a  more  open  field  in  the  state  of  Delaware, 
where  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  and  in  the  month  of  May,  1803, 
settled  in  practice  at  Dover.  His  success,  though  slow,  was  pro- 
gressive and  enduring.      His  manner,  was  in  argument  to  grasp  firm-

ly  the  governing  principles  of  the  case  in  hand,  and  to  present  them 
lucidly  and  forcibly,  compelling  conviction,  and  neglected  the  com- 
mon arts  of  oratory.  He  sought  not  the  applause  of  his  hearers, 
but  their  assent.  He  was  singularly  painstaking  in  preparation,  and 
always  prompt  in  his  engagements.  In  1812,  Mr.  Hall  was  appointed 
by  the  governor,  secretary  of"  state.  In  1816  and  1818  he  was 
elected  representative  to  congress.  But  congressional  life  was  not 
congenial  to  his  taste  and  he  declined  a  third  nomination.  In  1821, 
he  was  again  appointed  secretary  of  state.  In  1822,  he  was  elected 
a  member  of  the  state  senate.  And  on  the  6th  day  of  May,  1823, 
he  was  appointed  by  president  Monroe,  district  judge  for  Delaware 
which  office  he  held  with  distinction  for  48  years,  giving  in  his  res- 
ignation in  Dec,  1871.  In  1824,  he  was  requested  by  the  legislature 
to  revise  and  digest  the  statutes  of  the  state.  The  work  required 
great  legal  discrimination  and  good  judgment.  The  laws  then  ex- 
tended through  six  large  volumes  and  were  greatly  confused  by 
various  acts  of  legislature.  Mr.  Hall  reduced  the  whole  to  one 
octavo  volume,  which  he  submitted  in  1829,  and  gave  great  satisfac- 
tion, no  farther  revision  was  found  necessary  until  1852.  In  1830, 
he  was  unanimously  elected  as  a  delegate  to  the  state  constitutional 
convention,  in  which  he  was  a  very  efficient  member.  Mr.  Hall  may 
be  considered  the  father  of  the  present  public  school  system  of  the 
state  of  Delaware.  It  was  his  duty  while  secretary  of  state  in  1822, 
to  take  into  consideration  the  school  laws,  and  he  remodeled  the 
whole  system,  and  watched  over  it,  and  amended  it,  and  nourished 
and  strengthened  it,  and  made  it  efficient  and  of  incalculable  advan- 
tage to  the  people,  and  to  the  state.  He  was  engaged  in  the  interest 
of  education  for  48  years.  He  also  took  an  interest  in  the  state 
Bible  society  and  was  its  president  thirty  years,  resigning  in  1870, 
and  was  connected  with  it  and  gave  service  to  it  for  18  years  pre- 
vious. Its  efficiency  and  usefulness  is  largely  due  to  his  labors, 
counsels,  and  example.  Judge  Hall  was  also  president  of  the  Wil- 
mington Savings-Fund  Society,  from  its  organization  in  1832,  until 
a  very  advanced  age.  It  is  a  noble  charity,  solely  for  the  benefit  of 
persons  of  small  savings  and  without  profit  to  those  who  conduct 
it.  He  was  president  for  many  years  of  the  state  colonization 
society.  Also  he  gave  an  ardent  support  from  the  first  to  the  tem- 
perance society.  He  was  a  ruling  elder  and  a  sabbath  school  teacher 
in  the  Presbyterian  church,  and  was  prompt  and  faithful  in  all  the 
duties  implied  in  being  a  Christian,  and  an  office  bearer  in  the  church 
of  Christ.      In   the   wide   and   comprehensive   range   of  his    philan-

thropy,  he  missed  no  opportunity  to  do  good  in. his  public  relations  or 
in  a  private  way.  He  was  always  accessible  and  proved  to  be  a  judi- 
cious counselor  and  a  warm  friend.  His  powers  were  well  preserv- 
ed until  his  90th  birthday,  and  he  kept  abreast  of  the  times,  and  was 
always  fresh,  and  able  to  perform  the  duties  of  any  occasion,  but 
during  the  succeeding  winter  he  began  to  fail,  and  the  ensuing 
period  of  four  or  five  years  was  one  of  passive  endurance  rather  than 
active  life.  In  personal  appearance  he  was  rather  below  the  average 
stature  and  slightly  built,  with  a  naturally  quick  movement,  signifi- 
cant of  purpose  ;  his  countenance  was  strongly  expressive  of  both 
intelligence  and  benignity,  and  his  whole  aspect  for  a  generation,  in 
his  old  age,  was  exceptionally  venerable.  His  was  a  character  of 
beautiful  symmetry,  a  full,  and  harmonious  development  of  all  his 
faculties.  The  above  sketch  is  principally  taken  from  the  Memorial 
Address  on  the  life  and  character  of  Judge  Hall,  delivered  in  1879, 
by  Hon.  Daniel  M.  Bates  before  the  Historical  society  of  Delaware; 
of  which  Judge  Hall  was  the  first  president.

HALLS  OF  REHOBOTH,  MASS. 

The  emigrant  ancestor  was  : 

[Family  i.)  Edward  Hall1:  probably  the  freeman  of  1636,  at 
Salisbury.  He  was  at  Duxboro,  Mass.,  in  1636,  7,  8;  at  Brain- 
tree,  Mass.,  1640  ;  at  Taunton,  Mass.,  1641  ;  at  Duxboro  again 
1642  and  3  ;  at  Bridgwater,  Mass.,  perhaps  1644,  where  allotment 
was  made  to  him  1645,  March  28.  It  is  believed  that  he  owned 
1-54  part  of  the  town  from  1645  to  1650,  when  he  withdrew  ;  had 
land  apportioned  to  him  in  Rehoboth,  1645  ;  mention  is  made  o 
goodman  Hall  of  Duxboro,  by  John  Gove  of  Charlestown,  Mass., 
in  his  will  made  in  1647  (see  N.  E.  G.  H.  Reg.,  vol.  7,  p.  170). 
The  administrators  of  the  will  of  John  Gove,  viz.  :  Samuel  Scar- 
borough, John  Gove  of  Roxbury,  and  Richard  Hall,  gave  bond, 
Oct.  26,  1693  (see  v°l-  31'  P-  I04'  Gen.  Reg.).  Edward  Hall  had 
a  family  in  Braintree,  Mass.,  from  1650  to  1655.  He  removed  to 
Rehoboth,  1655,  where  he  was  No.  41  out  of  49  persons  who  drew 
in  order  of  the  settlers  estates,  for  meadow  lands  which  lie  on  the 
north  side  of  the  town,  at  town  meeting  of  Rehoboth,  held  June 
22,  1658.  Lots  were  also  drawn  May  26,  1668,  for  meadow  lands 
in  the  north  purchase,  now  Attleboro,  Cumberland,  R.  I.,  and  parts 
of  Norton  and  Mansfield.  The  name  of  John  Woodcock,  was 
next  to  that  of  Edward  Hall  in  both  drawings.  (A  daughter  of 
Andrew  Hall  of  Newton,  married  Mr.  Woodcock,  of  Bridgwater.) 
Edward  Hall  made  his  will  Nov.  23,  1670,  died  Nov.  27,  1670. 
His  estate  was  valued  at  £84.  The  name  of  his  wife  was  Esther 
or  Hester^  who  survived  him.  The  proprietory  records  of  Rehoboth 
credits  Edward  Hall  with  a  50  pound  right  of  commonage  in  1658. 
And  the  widow,  Hester  Hall  with  the  same  right  in  1671  ;  and 
John  Hall  with  the  same  in  1085,  and  with  only  one-half  from  1697 
to  1715.  "Married  in  Rehoboth,  Dec.  24,  1674,  Thomas  Jordan 
and  Esther  Hall.  "  It  is  possible  this  was  the  widow  of  Edward 
Hall,  but  probably  his  daughter,  yet  there  are  no  births  of  Thomas 
Jordan's  children  recorded  in  Rehoboth.  The  children  of  Edward 
and  Hester  Hall  were  born  in  Rehoboth,  except  the  first  two  who 
were  born  in  Braintree  :

that  was  the  Preserved  Hall  of  Hingham,  who  with  his  wife  Lydia, 
in  1709,  gave  a  good  character  to  a  woman  accused  of  being  a  witch 
(see  N.  E.  H.  G.  Reg.  vol.  5,  p.  263).  7.  Andrew,  b.  May  10,

tanner  and  shoemaker,  where  his  brother  Benjamin  was  an  apprentice  ; 
and  in  1810,  at  the  marriage  of  his  brother  Jonathan  C,  he  went  to  live 
with  him,  and  remained  four  years,  after  which  he  studied  at  several 
schools  to  prepare  for  college,  and  then  went  to  live  with  his  uncle 
Dr.  Nathan  Smith,  whose  first  wife  was  Elizabeth,  the  dau.  of  Gen. 
Jonathan  and  Thankful  (Sherman)  Chase.  Dr.  Smith  was  professor 
of  surgery  at  Yale  College,  and  James  Hall  lived  with  him  three 
years  and  studied  medicine,  while  assisting  him  as  steward  at  his 
house.  Dr.  Smith  also  gave  lectures  at  Bowdoin  College,  Me.,  in 
which  James  Hall  was  his  assistant  and  dissector,  and  graduated  there 
in  1822,  and  settled  in  the  practice  of  medicine  at  Claremont,  N. 
H.,  where  he  m.  a  Miss  Sumner  ;  he  afterwards  removed  to  Wind- 
sor, Vt.,  and  boarded  in  the  family  of  Jonathan  Hall,  whose  son 
Israel,  m.  two  of  his  nieces.  He  had  a  good  practice  in  Windsor 
for  two  years,  when  in  1829,  his  left  knee  became  affected  with 
rheumatism  and  he  has  been  under  the  necessity  of  using  a  crutch 
and  a  cane  ever  since  ;  the  following  winter  he  spent  in  Cuba,  W. 
I.,  and  having  seen  enough  of  slavery  in  Cuba,  he  spent  the  next  two 
winters  (those  of  1830  and  31),  in  Hayti  ;  from  the  next  June  to  No- 
vember, he  was  laid  up  in  the  Infirmary  at  Baltimore,  Md.,  when 
hearing  that  a  vessel  was  about  to  sail  for  Liberia,  Africa,  with 
emigrants,  he  applied  for  a  passage,  and  was  taken  on  a  mattrass  in 
a  carriage  to  the  vessel  ;  he  then  weighed  91  lbs.,  with  boots  and 
overcoat,  etc;  his  three  medical  attendants  gave  their  opinion  of  him 
as  follows  :  Dr.  Wright  said,  k'  Mr.  Hall  will  never  reach  the  Cape  of 
Chesapeake;"  Dr.  Baker  said,  "  he  will  not  reach  the  coast  of  Africa;" 
but  Dr.  Smith  who  better  understood  Dr.  Hall's  will  power,  said  "he 
will  arrive  safely,  but  will  fall  with  the  coast  fever."  He  arrived  at 
Monrovia  after  a  passage  of  thirty  days  and  had  gained  a  little  over 
a  pound  a  day  ;  and  during  his  stay  of  two  years  was  able  to  do 
efficient  professional  work  in  the  colony  ;  soon  after  his  return  to 
America,  June,  1833,  he  was  commissioned  by  the  Maryland  Colo- 
nization Society  under  the  state  patronage  to  found  a  new  colony  at 
Cape  Palmas,  having  visited  the  cape  the  year  previous  and  brought 
it  to  the  notice  of  the  public  as  a  place  favorable  for  such  an  enter- 
prize  ;  In  Nov.,  1833,  he  set  sail  from  Baltimore  in  the  Brig  Ann, 
and  was  successful  in  purchasing  the  territory  desired  and  in  planting 
the  colony  or  state,  of  which  he  remained  in  charge  as  governor  until 
June,  1836;  he  then  chartered  a  vessel  and  traded  on  the  coast  for 
the  next  four  years  ;  in  1840,  he  accepted  a  general  agency  of  the 
Maryland   Colonization   Society,   having   the   main    direction  of  its

affairs  both  in  Africa  and  in  this  country,  under  a  board  of  managers. 
The  duties  of  this  position  together  with  that  of  commercial  agent  of 
the  American  Colonization  Society  he  continued  to  discharge  for 
over  twenty  years,  and  until  the  breaking  out  of  the  war  in  1861, 
since  which  Maryland  emigration  h&s  ceased,  and  Dr.  Hall  has 
rendered  only  occasional  service  to  the  American  Colonization 
Society.  While  in  Africa  Dr.  Hall  built  a  ship  for  a  merchant  citizen 
of  Liberia,  which  bore  his  name  (James  Hall),  and  on  the  stern  of 
which  was  carved  a  crutch  and  a  hooked  cane  as  his  coat  of  arms. 
He  devoted  nearly  forty  years  of  his  life  to  the  cause  of  African 
Colonization  ;  not  however  as  an  advocate  of  any  general  deporta- 
tion of  the  colored  people  of  this  country,  but  for  the  relief  it  afforded 
to  the  manumitted  in  the  days  of  slavery,  and  the  colonization  of 
Africa.

[Family  100.)  David  N.  Hall7,  Luther6,  Nathan5,  Nehemiah4, 
John3,  Andrew2,  Edward":  b.  in  Sutton,  July  5,  1818.  In  very 
early  life  he  exhibited  a  rare  love  of  books  and  study,  and  was 
generally  at  the  head  of  his  classes  in  school ;  his  father  was  greatly 
pleased  and  determined  to  give  him  a  liberal  education  in  hope  that  he 
would  become  a  minister  of  the  Gospel,  and  fervently  prayed  many 
years  that  such  might  be  the  case.  He  graduated  at  Yale  College 
in  1839,  with  the  first  honors  of  his  class,  one  member  of  which 
was  United  States  senator  Dawes,  of  Massachusetts,  another  is  the 
Rev.  I.  N.  Tarbox,  of  Boston.  In  December,  1839,  he  embarked  on 
shipboard  at  Boston,  for  Mobile,  Ala.,  and  when  at  sea  but  a  few 
hours  a  violent  storm  arose,  and  he  was  shipwrecked,  but  finally 
escaped  alive  and  was  at  home  again  in  a  few  days  ;  yet  not  content, 
he  re-shiped  and  arrived  safely  at  Mobile  ;  from  there  he  went  up  the 
Tombigbee  river  to  Columbus,  Miss.,  where  he  engaged  in  teach- 
ing school  for  a  year  ;  at  the  same  time  he  studied  law,  and  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  bar,  but  as  his  health  failed  he  was  constrained  to  go 
farther  north,  and  in  1841  he  settled  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  where,  after 
a  hard  struggle  with  adverse  circumstances,  he  succeeded  in  establish- 
ing himself  in  a  lucrative  business.  In  the  spring  of  1847,  ne  was 
appointed  by  Gov.  Edwards,  circuit  attorney  for  the  county,  and 
afterwards  was  strongly  recommended  as  a  fit  appointment  to  suc- 
ceed Judge  Blair,  of  the  court  of  common  pleas,  and  in  the  summer 
of  1850,  he  received  the  nomination  for  the  state  senate,  but  being 
absent  from  the  state,  and  unable  to  attend  personally  to  the  canvass, 
he  lost  his  election.  After  an  absence  of  more  than  eight  years,  he 
returned  to  his  native  place  and  married,  Aug.  29,  1847,  ^ara^ 
Chase  Smith,  dau.  of  Dr.  David  H.  S.  C.  Smith  (see  Halls  of  Yar- 
mouth).    They    had   long  been   engaged,  and    had   constantly  cor-

responded,  and  the  interest  of  the  meeting  can  better  be  imagined 
than  described.  It  is  said  that  there  never  was  such  a  meeting  in 
Sutton.  They  met  to  part  no  more  till  death  should  separate  them 
for  a  little  while;  and  they  left  their  native  place  and  friends  together, 
never  to  return.  She  died  at  her  home  in  St.  Louis,  Jan.  13,  1849, 
at  the  age  of  27,  and  her  child,  born  and  died  the  day  before,  was 
laid  upon  her  bosom  and  buried  with  her.  This  was  the  severest 
trial  of  his  life,  even  so  great,  that  he  longed  to  depart  and  be  with 
his  beloved  dead  ;  continual  sickness  followed,  and  his  desire  was 
granted,  he  died  March  29,  1851,  ae.  33  years,  and  was  buried  in 
Christ  cemetery,  St.  Louis.

Benjamin2,  Edward1:   Bezaleel  Barton  was  the  son  of  Peter  Barton, 
who,  with  his   brothers   Benjamin    and    Bezaleel,  came   to  Croydon 
from  Sutton,  Mass.;  and  Ezekiel  Powers,  Sen.,  came  from  Grafton, 
formerly  a  part  of  Sutton,  and  was  the  son  of  Lemuel  and  Thankful 
(Leland)  Powers,  of  Grafton,  Mass.    (See  History  of  Sutton,  and  The 
Granite  Monthly,   vol.    2d,    No.    8,  published  at    Concord.)    Levi 
Winter  Barton,  was  b.  in  Croydon,  March  1,  1818  ;   m.,  1st,  1839, 
Mary  A.    Pike,  of  Newport,  a  lady  of  great  worth,  who  d.  in   1840, 
leaving  one  son  five  days  old  ;   m.,    2d.,  1852,  Lizzie  F.  Jewett,  of 
Hollis,  N.   H.,  a  young   lady  of  culture,  learning  and  good  sense  ; 
Mr.  Barton  early  learned  the  lesson  of  self-reliance,  and  the  necessity 
of  economy,  and  a  proper  use  of  time,  which  was  the  foundation  of 
his    future   success   in  life  ;  before   his  first   marriage    he    attended 
Unity  Academy  long  enough  to  fit  him  for  teaching  school,  which  he 
afterwards  found  occasion  to  do  for  many  terms  ;  and  after  his  great 
bereavement  by    her   death,   he    formed  the    resolution  to  obtain  a 
thorough    education  ;   he   had  a   capital    to   begin   with  of  only   IOO 
dollars  ;  he  spent  three  years  at  Kimball  Union  Academy,  teaching 
winters,  and  doing  manual  labor  in  vacations  ;  he  entered  Dartmouth 
College  in    1844  ;   his    father  d.  when    he  was    quite  young  and  his 
mother  was  poor,  but  was  able  by  unusual  tact  and  energy  to  bring 
up  her  children,  and  Levi  had  to  depend    upon  his  own  resources; 
he  spent  four  years  in  college,  teaching  in  winters  and  doing  manual 
labor  in    vacation,   and  graduated    with   honorable    mention   in   the 
public  journals  ;  during   his  senior  year  he   studied  law  with  Hon. 
Daniel  Blaisdell,  of  Hanover  ;  he  then  taught  the  Canaan  Academy 
five  terms  and  at  the  same  time  studied  law  with  Judge  Kittredge  ;  in 
185 1  he  began  to  study  in  the  office  of  Metcalf  &  Corbin,  of  Newport, 
and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  July  of  that  year,  and  settled  in  practice 
in  that  place ;  the  energy,  perseverance  and  ability  which  had  borne  him 
thf  ough  his  course  of  study,  demonstrated  what  his  future  success  would 
be  ;  the   hardest  part  of  life's  battle  was  fought  and   the  future  con- 
quest was  assured.      When  he  began  practice  in  Newport  there  were 
five  able  lawyers  already  occupying  the  field,  and  while  waiting  for 
business  he  taught   school  and  was  not  afraid  of  being  starved  out  ; 
he  knew  what  industry  and  economy  meant.      The  people  soon  had 
reason  to  have  confidence  in  his  ability  as  a  lawyer  as  well  as  school- 
teacher  and   as  a  man  ;    he  was   taken   by   Gov.   Metcalf  as  a   law 
partner,  and   soon  arose  to  a  level  with  the  best.      As  a  counselor  he 
is  cautious  and  careful,  dissuading  his  clients,  rather  than  encouraging 
them  to  engage  in  litigation  ;  as  an  advocate  he  is  eloquent,  zealous,

bold  and  persistent;  in  his  preparation  of  trial  cases  he  has  no  supe- 
riors in  the  county.  In  1863  he  was  elected  to.  the  legislature  and 
almost  immediately  became  the  acknowledged  leader  of  the  majority  ; 
he  was  re-elected  in  1864  and  still  held  the  same  position,  and  also 
in  1875,  '76  and  '77,  and  was  a  member  of  the  senate  in  1867 
and  68.  During  his  entire  term  of  service  in  both  branches,  he  was 
a  member  of  the  judiciary  committee,  and  for  five  years  its  chairman. 
In  1875  and  1876  he  was  chairman  of  the  republican  legislative 
caucus,  the  labors  of  which  were  both  extremely  difficult  and  im- 
portant ;  in  1876  he  was  a  member  of  the  convention  to  revise  the 
constitution  of  the  state,  and  one  of  the  republican  electors  of  the 
president  and  vice-president  of  the  United  States;  and  has  held  other 
offices  of  great  responsibility.  He  is  an  experienced  legislator  and 
is  considered  well  able  and  deserving  of  a  place  in  the  congress  of 
the  United  States.  "  Mr.  Barton  is  a  ready  debator,  quick  to  see  a 
point  and  take  it,  suave  and  considerate  at  all  times  and  ready  to  take 
a  hand  in  any  discussion  affecting  the  public  weal ;  his  cheerful  voice, 
striking  in  upon  a  dull  or  an  acrimonious  debate  has  a  pleasing  and 
mollifying  effect.  Although  careful  and  cautious,  he  has  positive 
ideas,  and  is  aggressive  in  their  maintenance,  and  although  sometimes 
sharp  in  his. personal  sallies  they  are  singularly  free  from  bitterness 
or  malice,  and  no  one  could  hold  resentment  against  him  ;  on  all 
moral  questions  he  is  foremost  with  voice  and  influence  and  vote." 
It  was  said  of  him  in  1877,  that  he  was  the  best  preserved  man  in 
the  house  and  judging  from  his  looks  and  appearance  one  would  say 
that  he  was  at  least  ten  years  the  junior  of  men  of  his  age  ;  he  has 
no  bad  habits,  and  never  has  indulged  in  the  use  of  intoxicating 
liquors  or  tobacco  in  any  form  ;  he  is  a  kind  neighbor,  and  strongly 
attached  to  his  friends,  generous  to  his  opponents  and  social  with  all ; 
in  religion  he  is  a  worthy  member  of  the  Methodist  church  and  has 
always  taken  a  strong  interest  in  whatever  affects  the  moral,  social, 
or  material  prosperity  of  those  around  him,  and  is  always  ready  to 
lend  a  helping  hand  in  every  good  work.     Children  were  : 

1.  Ira  McL.  (Family  ill).  2.  Herbert  J.,  b.  Sept.  27,  1853  ;

years,  and  now  has  charge  of  a  school  in  Waukegan,  111.;  his  labors

Mrs.  Lucinda  J.  Kidder.  At  the  age  of  17  years  he  commenced 
teaching  school ;  prepared  for  college  at  Kimball  Union  Academy, 
and  entered  Dartmouth  College  in  1858,  and  at  the  same  time  began 
the  study  of  law  with  his  father,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in 
1863.  While  a  member  of  college  in  186 1,  at  the  first  call  for  men  in 
the  opening  of  the  rebellion,  when  he  was  not  yet  21  years  of  age,  he 
was  the  first  man  in  Sullivan  County  to  enlist,  and  was  appointed 
recruiting  officer,  and  immediately  enlisted  40  men  in  Newport,  and 
was  commissioned  captain  of  Co.  D.,  1st  Reg.  N.  H.  Vols.,  under  Col. 
M.  W.  Tappan.  After  this  company  returned,  Capt.  Barton  raised

commissioned  lieutenant  colonel  of  the  same,  and  was  stationed  in 
the  defences  about  Washington,  D.  C,  where  he  remained  on  duty 
until  the  war  closed.  He  was  then  appointed  a  captain  in  the 
regular  army,  and  was  stationed  at  Pine  Bluffs,  Arkansas.  He  was 
afterwards  appointed  provost  marshal  of  Arkansas,  and  soon  after 
attorney  general  of  the  Tenth  District  of  that  state,  and  soon  after, 
judge  of  the  criminal  court  of  Jefferson  County  of  the  same  state. 
He  became  part  owner  and  chief  editor  of  the  Jefferson  Weekly  Re-

Halls  of  Taunton,  567 


THE  HALLS  OF  TAUNTON,  MASS. 

George  Hall1  and  his  wife  Mary  [Family  1),  were  the  ancestors 
of  the  Halls  of  Taunton.  They  emigrated,  it  is  said,  from  Devon- 
shire County,  England,  in  1636-7.  George  Hall  is  recorded  as 
proprietor  of  land  in  Duxbury,  Mass.,  in  1637,  about  the  date  of  his 
settlement  in  "  Cohannet," —  Taunton  ;  he  was  one  of  the  forty-six 
original  proprietors  of  the  first  territorial  "  purchase  "  of  the  Indian 
Sachem  Massasoit,  including  a  tract  of  eight  miles,  (an  oblong, 
square,  being  the  present  territory  of  Taunton,  Berkley,  Raynham, 
extendingto  Mansfield) ;  he  had  a  twelveacre share,  in  connection  with 
Richard  Williams,  John  and  Walter  Dean  and  others,  who  had  similar 
shares,  spanning  Taunton  river,  on  the  banks  of  which  they  erected 
their  first  humble  dwellings  and  were  neighbors  and  friends  for  lifetime. 
The  selection  of  their  homesteads  included  the  most  eligible  land  of 
the  purchase,  on  what  is  now  Dean  street ;  the  land  skirting  the 
banks  of  the  river  had  been  cultivated  by  the  Indians  for  years  ;  and 
these  homesteads  have  been  successively  transmitted  from  ancestors  to 
descendants  nearly  two  hundred  years,  of  whom  the  sixth,  seventh 
and  eighth  generations  are  now  owners  and  residents.  George  Hall 
was  one  of  the  founders  of  the  town  of  Taunton  in  1639,  was  pro- 
pounded as  a  freeman  in  1643  ;  and  enrolled  to  bear  arms  that  year  ; 
admitted  as  a  freeman  in  1645,  and  was  constable  of  the  town  the 
same  year;  he  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  the  supervising  council, 
of  which  William  Pole  was  chairman,  in  1657,  an(^  was  chairman  of 
the  board  of  selectmen  (established  by  the  colonial  court  in  1662), 
from  1666  to  1669,  the  time  of  his  decease;  he  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Pilgrim  Congregational  church  and  society  of  Taunton, 
and  contributed  liberally  to  its  support  ;  also  one  of  the  stock  pro- 
prietors of  the  first  iron  "  bloomery  "  established  in  this  region  by  the 
Leonards  and  other  citizens  of  Taunton,  upon  the  site  of  the  present 
"old  forge"  now  in  Raynham;  he  was  its  first  clerk  in  1656,  con- 
tinuing several  years  in  that  capacity,  and  was  succeeded  after  his 
death  by  his  son  John.  In  October,  1669,  he  was  taken  seriously  ill ; 
he  called  his  friends,  Deacons  Richard  Williams  and  Walter  Dean, 
and  made  his  will  on  the    16th,  witnessed  by  them,  and  died  on  the

30th  of  that  month,  aged  about  69  years  ;  his  widow  Mary  was 
appointed  executrix;  the  will  was  probated  in  March,  1670.  After 
his  death,  his  widow  and  sons  John,  Joseph  and  Samuel  were  share- 
holders in  the  iron  works  ;  these  works  have  been  continued  until 
recently,  over  two  hundred  years.  Soon  after  they  were  started, 
bar  iron  manufactured  there  from  native  ore  dug  in  the  vicinity,  was 
made  a  "  circulating  medium  "  in  business  transactions  and  on  account 
of  the  scarcity  of  specie  ;  orders  to  that  effect  drawn  by  Rev.  Samuel 
Danforth,  the  fourth  minister  of  Taunton,  for  a  portion  of  his  salary,  a 
few  years  later,  and  by  others  for  business  purposes,  are  now  in  care- 
ful preservation.  George  Hall  was  one  of  the  largest  landholders  in 
Taunton,  and  divided  it  among  his  sons.  They  were  also  among 
the  proprietors  of  the  large  tract,  called  "  Taunton  North  Purchase," 
which  included  the  territory  of  the  present  towns  of  Norton,  Easton 
and  portions  of  Mansfield  and  Raynham,  upon  which,  many  of  their 
descendants  settled  as  farmers  and  businessmen  ;  more  than  a  thousand 
descendants  now  bear  the  ancestral  name.  The  children  mentioned 
in  the  will  of  George  Hall  were  : 

1.  John,  b.  in  1640  (Family  2).  2.  Joseph,  b.  in  1642  (Family 
3).  3.  Samuel,  b.  in  1644  (Family  4).  4.  Charity.  5.  Sarah. 
6.  Mary  The  town  records  were  burned  in  1838,  hence  the  loss 
of  many  valuable  clues.

Mass.,  sold  his  share  for  £50.  In  1744,  Thomas,  of  Lyme,  Conn.,

1 75 1,  a  small  share  to  his  brothers  and  sister  for  £15.  There  are 
indications  that  George,  senior,  may  have  resided  several  years  with 
his  sons  in  Lyme.  Records  state  that  in  1760  (at  the  age  of  79), 
he  acknowledged  his  deed  of  sale  in  1724,  before  a  magistrate  in 
Norton.  In  a  deed  of  his  first  sale  of  land,  in  1702  (inherited  from

His  life  was  an  active  and  useful  one,  although  he  labored  under 
impaired  health  and  weak  eyes  occasioned  by  a  course  of  typhus  fever 
in  1808. 

From  his  senior  year  in  college  to  the  end  of  his  life  he  main- 
tained an  eminent  Christian  character  ;  he  made  the  Bible  his  daily 
study,  and  derived  from  it  wisdom,  strength  and  consolation  ;  he  was 
for  many  years  president  of  the  Tolland  County  Bible  Society  ;  he 
was  an  upright  man  in  body,  soul  and  spirit  ;  he  was  devotedly 
attached  to  his  family,  the  society  of  his  children  was  his  delight  and 
;£"  their  moral  and  mental  improvement  his  constant  care  ;  his  opinion 

Vo  was  highly  prized  and  sought  for  by  the  people,  and  it  was  a  pleasure 

4  to  him  to  confer  benefits  upon  all  by  every  means  in  his  power. 

°v  His  pastor  Rev.  Mr.  Eggleston   preached   two  memorial   sermons 

on  the  Sabbath  after  his  decease,  which  were  printed.

^X  Haven,  Conn.  ;   has  since  removed  to  Hartford,  Conn. 

Mrs.  Baird  has  taken  a  lively  interest  in  this  genealogy  and  has 
sent  me  much  information  on  the  subject. 

6.  Levi  Wells,  b.  Dec.  25,  1818  ;  he  received  his  early  education, 
and  was  fitted  for  college  in  the  Ellington  school,  which  was  founded 
by  his  father  ;  he  entered  Yale  College  in  the  class  of  1839,  but  ill 
health  necessitated  his  leaving  college  after  a  brief  connection  with  it. 

A  few  years  later  he  commenced  business  as  bookseller  and  pub- 
lisher in  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  but  his  taste  was  for  the  profession  of 
law,  and  having  prepared  himself  for  it  commenced  practice  in  1858. 

Twenty  years  later,  finding  the  unremitting  labor  attendant  upon 
successful  legal  practice,  again  impairing  his  health,  he  became  in- 
terested with  others  in  the  establishment  of  an  extensive  plow  manu- 
factory, and  gradually  withdrew  from  practice  in  the  courts  ;  while 
pursuing  this  latter  business,  with  his  usual  ardor,  his  disease  (an 
affection  of  the  heart)  continued  to  remind  him,  at  times,  of  his  pre- 
carious hold  upon  life,  until  April  19th,  1881,  when  his  active  energy 
succumbed,  and  a  warm  loving  heart  ceased  to  beat  ;  those  about 
him  realized  no  immediate  danger  until  the  last  moments  of  his  life.

The  many  tributes  paid  to  his  memory  by  the  Bar  of  Syracuse, 
by  his  late  associates  in  his  business  enterprises,  and  by  the  various 
civic  and  charitable  organizations  with  which  he  was  connected, 
gave  ample  testimony  of  the  value  and  esteem  in  which  his  busy  and 
upright  life  was  regarded.

Mr.  David  C.  Hall  is  the  agent  and  leader  of  Hall's  band  and 
orchestra,  organized  in  1835,  and  an  importer  and  manufacturer  and 
dealer  in  musical  instruments,  at  126  Court  street,  Boston,  Mass. 
Mr.  Hall  spent  the  season  of  1879  with  his  band  at  Saratoga  Springs, 
where  their  musical  entertainments  were  noticed  with  the  highest 
degree  of  praise. 

10.  Rodolph,  b.  July  22,  1824;  m.  Miss  Morris,  of  Philadelphia, 
Pa.,  and  resided  in  Boston  ;  d.  and  his  funeral  ceremonies  were  held 
in  Lyme,  N.  H.,  Dec.  14,  1878.  The  memorial  sermon  was  pub 
lished.  It  represents  him  as  possessed  of  the  highest  musical  talents. 
He  began  to  appear  in  public  musical  entertainments  at  the  age  of 
twelve  years,  nearly  all  instruments  of  music  were  at  his  command, 
but  his  chosen  ones  were  the  clarionet  and  cornet,  of  those  he  was  a 
perfect  master  ;   for  many  years  he  was  associated  with   Hall's  band, 

of  Boston,  led    by  his   brother   David  C. .      No    one  who  had 

heard  these  two  brothers  play  together,  David  with  his  gold  bugle, 
and  Rodolph  with  his  gold  cornet,  can  ever  forget  the  exquisite  music 
of  their  choice  duets.  Being  of  the  most  genial  nature,  and  an 
agreeable  companion,  he  made  many-friends  in  all  our  New  England 
and  inland  cities,  on  the  tar  Pacific  coast,  and  also  in  the  mother 
land  beyond  the  sea.  Foreign  courts  and  cities  lavished  their  praises 
upon  him.      At  home  and  abroad  he  achieved  the  highest   success. 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  the  testimony  of  the  London 
Court  Circular,  March  20,  1862:  "Mr.  Rodolph  Hall  has  by  his 
inimitable  performances,  achieved  for  himself  a  European  reputation. 
The  echo  bugle,  on  which  he  displays  his  unsurpassed  talent,  he  is 
a  perfect  master  of,  and  all  who  have  heard  his  skillful  performances 
must  admit  that  for  beauty  and  accuracy  none  have  ever  equalled  him 
in  bugle  instrumentation.  We  are  confident  that  the  talent  which  Mr. 
Hall  has  displayed  in  all  his  pieces,  however  difficult  of  execution 
they  may  be,  that  he  stands  unsurpassed,  and  is  truly  deserving  of 
his  well  earned  triumphs."

side  of  her  husband,  in  Woodland  cemetery,  Cleveland,  Ohio; 
Among  her  ancestors  were  the  family  names  of  Thomas,  Terrill, 
Drummond  and  Dayton. 

Mr.  Hall  did  not  inherit  a  rugged  physical  constitution,  yet  by  an 
intelligent  care  of  himself,  he  filled  up  a  long  life  with  a  large 
amount  of  activity  and  usefulness.  He  went  to  New  York  in 
1799,  and  became  a  clerk  of  N.  L.  &  G.  Griswold,  commission 
and  shipping  merchants,  whose  niece  became  his  first  wife.  In 
1804  or  5,  he  entered  into  partnership  with  William  Hull,  and  sub- 
sequently with  John  Griswold,  and  engaged  in  the  shipping  business,

but  their  losses  by  the  depredations  of  the  French,  and  again  by  the 
British  in  18 12,  the  death  of  Mr,  Hull  and  endorsements  for  other 
houses,  obliged  them  to  close  business. 

Mr.  Hall  afterwards  engaged  in  business  in  partnership  with 
Ephraim  Robbins,  but  again  failed  by  the  injudicious  transactions  of 
an  agent  in  Cincinnati.  The  shipping  business  of  those  days  was 
very  heavy  and  attended  with  great  risks. 

Mr.  Hall  became  connected  with  the  Brick  church  soon  after  he 
removed  to  New  York,  and  was  one  of  the  original  members  who 
organized  the  Cedar  street  church,  which  still  survives  in  one  of  its 
branches  under  the  pastoral  care  of  Rev.  Dr.  John  Hall. 

Mr.  Hall  removed  in  1 818  to  East  Bloomfield,  Ontario  Co., 
N.  Y.  ;  in  1824  to  Rochester,  N.  Y.  ;  in  1827  to  their  old  home 
in  New  York;  in  1840  to  Saybrook,  Conn.,  and  in  1852  to  Cleve- 
land, Ohio.  He  was  an  elder  in  the  West  Presbyterian  church, 
New  York,  many  years,  and  always  an  active  and  consistent  chris- 
tian. He  was  held  in  the  highest  esteem  by  all  who  knew  him,  and 
his  children  have  honored  his  memory  by  publishing  his  biography

HALLS  OF  COHASSET. 
Capt.  James  Hall  and  Descendants. 

Capt.  James  Hall,  James,  Richard  :  was  b.  in  Hingham  (after- 
wards Cohasset),  Feb.  22,  1750;  he  learned  the  trade  of  a  mason  ; 
having  an  inclination  and  aptitude  for  military  life,  and  manifesting 
an  interest  in  the  patriotic  cause  of  his  country,  he  enlisted  in  Pad- 
dock's company  and  joined  Col.  Knox's  regiment  in  1775  ;  he  was 
promoted  from  sergeant  to  2d  lieutenant  in  1776;  to  1st  lieutenant 
in  1777,  and  to  commandant  in  1780.  Capt.  Hall  served  through 
the  Revolutionary  war  under  General  Knox  ;  was  with  him  at  Mon- 
mouth, Valley  Forge  and  Yorktown,  at  the  time  of  the  surrender  of 
Cornwallis  ;  serving  a  portion  of  the  lime  as  one  of  Washington's 
aids  ;  he  was  a  favorite  officer  of  Maj.  Gen.  Knox,  and  for  his  skill,

of  the  prominent  surviving  officers  of  the  Revolution  and  originated

parchment  "  Roll  of  Honor,"  awarded  to  Capt.  James  Hall  for 
patriotic  services,  at  the  close  of  the  war  and  signed  by  Washington.

HALLS  OF  NEW  HAVEN,  CONN. 

The  following  is  from  Savage's  Genealogical  Dictionary  : 

Daniel  Hall,  of  New  Haven,  Conn.,  merchant,  m.,  Nov.  16, 1670, 


Appendix.  665 

Mary,  dau.  of  Henry  Rutherford,  and  had  Daniel,  b.  Aug.  9,  1672, 
d.  in  a  tew  days  ;  Daniel  again,  b.  June  4,  1674,  and  Rutherford, 
b.  April  21,  1675  ;  he  d.  at  Barbadoes  in  1675,  his  widow  m. 
again  Aug.  23,  168 1 ,  John  Prout. 

The  following  is  frum  the  History  of  Wallingford,  Conn.,  p.  752: 

David  Hall,  son  o(  John  and  Jane  Hall,  m.  Mary  Rutherford,  of 
New  Haven,  Nov.  11,  1670.  Children:  1.  Daniel,  b.  Aug.  9, 
1672.      2.   Rutherford,  b.  April  20,  1675. 

This  is  evidently  a  mistake,  for  David  the  son  of  John,  was  b.  in 
March,  1652,  and  m.,  Dec,  1676,  Sarah  Rockwell.  Seeing  this  1 
concluded  that  Dr.  Savage  had  given  the  name  correctly  as  Daniel, 
and  naturally  supposing  that  he  was  a  son  of  John  I  gave  it  so  in  the 
Halls  of  Wallingford,  pp.  87,  89  ;  but  am  not  certain  about  its  being 
correct.  Indded  I  am  inclined  to  belie/e  that  Dr.  Savage  was  mis- 
taken in  giving  the  name  Daniel  to  either  the  father  or  his  first  two 
sons ;  I  have  seen  an  extract  from  the  original  records  where  all  three 
were  given  as  I^avid.' 

And  besides,  the  only  Halls  among  the  original  proprietors  of 
Wallingford,  were  John  Hall,  Doctor  Hall  and  David  Hall.  David 
the  son  of  John  Hall,  was  too  young  at  that  time  to  be  a  proprietor. 

Doctor  Hall  must  have  been  Isaac  Hall,  the  son  of  Francis,  who 
settled  in  Fairfield  ;  and  David  the  merchant,  might  also  have  been 
the  son  of  Francis. 


HALLS  OF  WINDSOR,  CONN. 

George  Hall,  a  young  man,  was  one  of  the  company  on  board  the 
Mary  and  John,  Capt.  Squid,  from  Plymouth,  Eng.,  to  Dorchester, 
Mass.,  1630. 

In  1633  he  went  to  trade  with  the  Indians  and  finding  them  dying 
with  the  small  pox,  returned  to  Dorchester  in  1634. 

He  made  a  large  purchase  of  the  Indians  of  land,  which  took  the 
name  of  Windsor. 

His  name  is  printed  plainly  on  the  deed,  but  there  is  a  suspicion  of 
a  mistake,  and  that  the  emigrant  and  purchaser  of  Windsor  was 
George  Hull  and  not  George  Hall. 


666  Appendix. 

Humphrey  Penny  whose  name  is  next  to  George  Hall,  is  known 
to  have  m.,  1635,  Mary,  the  dau.  of  George  Hull.

pounded for  freeman,  May  21,  1668,  and  he  and  Timothy  Hall,  of 
Windsor,  were  made  freeman  Oct.,  1669.  The  name  of  Timothy 
Hall  is  on  the  land  record  of  Windsor  in  1664,  and  the  wife  of 
Timothy  Hall  was  presented  for  baptism  July  5,  1668,  he  was 
admitted  to  the  church  April,  1672  ;  had  six  children  b.  in 
Windsor  before  Aug.  17,  1677.

SCOTCH    OR    SCOTCH-IRISH  HALLS. 

The  following  are  of  the  Scotch  or  Scotch-Irish  Halls  in  Penn- 
sylvania, North  Carolina,  Virginia  and  New  York  : 

They  were  probably  of  Norse  origin.  Mrs.  Mary  E.  Hall,  of 
Brookline,  Mass.,  says  :  "  I  find  in  Ferguson's  English  Surnames, 
the  old  Norse  hallr,  hals,  and  the  Anglo-Saxon  haela,  haletta,  all 
signify  hero  ;  and  Hallr,  Halli,  and  Hals  appear  as  old  Norse  names 
in  the  Sandnamabok,  the  first  as  common  as  the  corresponding  Hall 
is  with  us." 

The  following  is  an  extract  from  a  letter  of  Rev.  Dr.  John  Hall, 
of  the  Fifth  Avenue  Presbyterian  Church,  New  York  ;  he  is  from 
Narrow  Water  Castle,  Ireland  : 

He  says  :  "  The  Halls  were  on  both  sides  of  the  border  between 
England  and  Scotland  ;  were  a  rugged  and  sturdy  set ;  did  not  always 
nicely  distinguish  between  their  own  and  their  neighbors'  cattle  across 
the  border. 

My  ancestor  was  from  the  Scottish  side  of  the  border,  and  I  am  heir 
to  the  place  in  Ireland  to  which  the  family  came  ;  I  am  the  sixth 
generation  in  Ireland,  and  my  name  has  been  the  name  of  the  eldest 
son  of  the  family  throughout ;  my  grandfather  had  a  strong  Scotch 
accent,  and  his  look  and  thought  were  all  Scotch.  But  in  my  county, 
Armagh,  there  settiedEnglish  Halls  of  great  respectability  and  worth, 
and  the  owners  of  much  landed  property  around  the  family  place  of 
1  Narrow  Water  Castle.'  " 

A.  Wilford  Hall,  of  New  York,  editor  of  the  Literary  Microcosm, 
and  author  of  Problem  of  Human  Life,  is  of  the  old  Pennsylvania 
stock  from  Lycoming  County  ;  his  father  was  Samuel,  who  had 
ten  brothers,  of  whom  were  William,  John,  Jonathan,  Alexander, 
Richard  and  Joseph  ;  the  father  of  Samuel  was  Richard,  who  was 
the   son   of-Jt>kn.    /LcCWv-v-      ^  e  <-      /<■&-}  *      /"/A 

Rev.  Dr.  John  Hall,  pastor  of  a  Presbyterian  church  at 
Trenton,  N.  J.,  was  b.  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  Aug.  n,  1806;  he 
graduated  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  ;  was  admitted  at  the 
bar  of  Philadelphia  •,  installed  pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian  church 
of  Trenton,  Aug.  11,  1841  ;  his  father  was  Thomas  Miffin  Hall, 
who  was  an  intimate  friend  of  Rev.  Dr.  Archibald  Alexander,  and 
an  elder  in  his  church  in  Philadelphia,  when  he  was  pastor  of  a 
Presbyterian  church  there,  before  he  was  chosen  professor  in  Prince- 
ton  Theological    Seminary  ;   Thomas    M.    Hall's    father    was  John

Hall,  who  was  b.  in  Ireland,  Nov.  3,  171 7  ;  d.  in  Philadelphia, 
Feb.  27,  1 79 1  ;  his  first  wife,  Esther  Robison,  d.  before  he  emi- 
grated ;  his  second  wife  was  Margaret  Nesbeth,  an  American  ;  three 
of  his  sixteen  children  were  named  John  ;  Thomas  M.  was  by  his 
2d  wife. 

Ruth  Hall,  of  Neshaminy,  Bucks  Co.,  Pa.,  a  near  relative  of  the 
mother  of  the  celebrated  Dr.  Benjamin  Rush,  of  Philadelphia,  m. 
Rev.  James  Hunt,  of  Maryland,  in  whose  family  and  under  whose 
sole  instruction  the  celebrated  William  Wirt  passed  his  early  years; 
one  of  their  children  was  William  Pitt  Hunt  ;  he  graduated  at 
Princeton  College  and  was  for  a  time  a  tutor  in  the  institution  ; 
he  became  a  lawyer,  with  whom  William  Wirt  pursued  his  legal 
studies  ;  he  married  Miss  Susanna  Watkins,  dau.  of  Col.  Joel 
Watkins,  of  Charlotte,  Va.  They  had  four  children,  one  of 
whom  was  Rev.  Thomas  Poage  Hunt,  b.  in  1794,  was  sickly 
in  his  youth,  and  much  in  company  with  his  mother,  and  was  in- 
structed, and  greatly  influenced  by  her ;  he  graduated  at  Hampden 
Sidney  College,  in  18 13,  and  studied  theology  with  Dr.  Moses 
Hoge  and  Dr.  John  H.  Rice  ;  he  preached  in  Petersburgh  and 
Richmond,  Va.,  for  a  time,  and  then  was  agent  for  the  Domestic 
Missionary  Society,  and  in  1828  was  settled  in  Raleigh,  N.  C.  His 
ancestors  had  been  most  prominent  in  contending  for  religious  liberty 
in  Virginia,  and  resisted  the  intolerance  of  the  established  church  and 
suffered  much  from  a  despotic  power,  because  loval  to  their  convic- 
tions of  right  ;  Mr.  Hunt  following  the  same  convictions  of  right, 
liberated  in  1827  the  slaves  he  had  inherited.  While  under  the 
instruction  of  Dr.  Rice,  he  had  promised  him  that  in  his  ministry  he 
would  use  all  his  influence  against  that  vice  which  was  making  such 
fearful  ravages  in  the  land  ;  in  his  preaching  therefore  he  made  the 
subject  of  temperance  prominent.  Having  served  the  church  in 
Raleigh  two  years,  he  entered  upon  what  proved  largely  his  life's 
work,  that  of  lecturing  on  temperance  ;  in  it  he  experienced  much 
rough  usage,  but  he  was  brave  as  any  hero,  and  equal  to 
any  emergency.     His  lectures  were  exceedingly   useful. 

The  following  is  the  pedigree  of  the  late  W.  W.  Hall,  of  40 
Broadway,  New  York,  the  editor  and  proprietor  of  the  Journal  of 
Health  and  author  of  several  popular  works  on  medicine  and  health  ; 
he  studied  for  the  ministry  and  began  to  preach,  and  when  he  mingled 
with  the  people  in  the  pursuit  of  his  pastoral  duties  he  found  that 
they  suffered  much  for  want  of  knowledge  and  care  of  themselves

and  want  of  knowledge  and  skill  in  the  application  of  simple 
remedies  ;  this  ignorance  on  the  part  of  the  people  Dr.  Hall  con- 
sidered as  a  prolific  source  of  great  misery,  he  therefore  turned  his 
attention  to  writing  books  to  enlighten  them  and  ameliorate  their 
condition;  he  was  b.  on  the  Monongahela  river  in  1808,  and  was 
the  eldest  child  of  Stephen  Hall,  who  was  b.  on  the  Monongahela 
river,  Pa.,  in  1787,  his  mother  was  an  English  woman  from  Devon- 
shire ;  the  father  of  Stephen  Hall  was  Adam,  who  d.  in  1814;  the 
father  of  Adam  was  Stephen,  whose  father  was  Adam,  b.  in  Ireland 
about  1728,  and  d.  near  Philadelphia  ;  he  was  a  staunch  Scotch  precen- 
tor and  disinherited  his  son  Stephen  at  the  age  of  twenty  years 
because  he  became  a  member  of  the  Baptist  church  and  m.  a 
Baptist  wife  ;  Dr.  W.  W.,  believed  that  his  ancestors  came 
originally  from  near  the  border  in  Scotland  and  said  they  were  of 
a  billious  temperament,  high  cheek  bones  and  sour  mouths,   etc.

CORRECTIONS    AND    ADDITIONS   TO   THE   HALLS 
OF  WALLINGFORD. 

By  Henry  A.  Chaney,  Esq.,  of  Detroit,  Mich. 

Benjamin  Hall  [Family  36,  p.  96)  was  for  many  years  a  delegate 
from  Wallingford  to  the  Connecticut  Colonial  Assembly  ;  he  held 
all  judicial  offices  from  justice  of  the  peace  to  a  judgeship  in  the 
court  of  last  resort,  thenknown  as  the  Superior  Court  of  the  Colony; 
and  he  rose  in  military  rank  from  being  lieutenant  in  a  trainband  to 
becoming  colonel  of  the  Tenth  Regiment  ;  he  was  also  "assistant" 
for  several  years  during  the  administration  of  Gov.  Fitch,  and  in 
1765,  he,  with  Chief  Justice  Ebenezer  Silliman,  was  among  the 
four  conservative  members  of  the  council  of  assistants  who  sustained 
the  Governor  in  submitting  to  the  Stamp  Act,  while  the  rest,  led  by 
Jonathan  Trumbull,  refused  to  do  so.

CORRECTIONS    AND    ADDITIONS   TO  THE    HALLS 
OF  REHOBOTH. 

{See  page  527,  Family  1). 

There  is  no  positive  evidence  that  Edward  Hall,  of  Braintree 
and  Rehoboth,  was  the  same  Edward  who  was  at  Salisbury  in  1636, 
or  the  Edward  of  Bridgewater,  or  the  Edward  of  Duxboro,  or  of 
Taunton.  The  Edward  Hall  of  "  Duxborrow,"  had  a  farm  contig- 
uous to  that  of  George  Hall,  afterwards  of  Taunton,  "  he  built  a 
house  upon  it,"  and  "  had  a  garden  plot."  He  appears  to  have  been 
a  headstrong  man,  had  law  suits  and  difficulty  with  the  authorities. 

A  quit  claim  deed  dated  in  1715,  is  found,  in  which  the  names  of 
Edward  Hall's  children  are  given.  Samuel,  of  Taunton,  Thomas  of 
Dedham,  Andrew  of  Newton  and  Benjamin  of  Wrentham,  re- 
linquished their  claim  to  the  estate  of  their  father  Edward  Hall,  and 
mother  Esther  Hall,  in  Rehoboth  and  Attleboro,  in  favor  of  their 
brothers  John  Hall  of  Rehoboth  and  Preserved  Hall  of  Hingham. 

{Family  2.)  John  Hall2,  Edward1  :  The  number  of  his  children 
is  not  certain,  or  the  order  of  their  births.  Mary,  Esther  and  Hannah 
gave  their  portions  of  their  father's  estate  to  their  brother  Edward 
for  .£60,  to  take  care  of  their  mother  and  invalid  sister  Martha. 
And  in  1721,  Edward  Hall  and  sisters  Mary,  Esther,  Hannah  and 
Martha,  spinster,  gave  deed  of  property  in  Rehoboth  to  brother  John 
of  Taunton.  The  word  spinsters  in  the  record  should  be  in  the 
singular  number  and  has  reference  only  to  Martha.  John  Hall3 
of  Taunton  was  not  the  Lt.  John  Hall  who  m.  Hannah  Penniman. 
He  sold  a  house  in  Rehoboth  partly  finished  in  1722,  and  was  in 
Braintree  in  1763. 

{See  page  528.)  Samuel  Hall2,  Edward1  :  b.  in  Rehoboth,  Oct. 
24,  1656,  probably  was  that  Samuel  Hall,  Jr.,  who  was  recorded  in 
Yarmouth  as  freeman  in  1679;  m.,  April  7,  1686,  Elizabeth  Bourn, 
from  a  family  of  some  distinction  in  the  southern  part  of  Bristol  Co., 
he  settled  in  Taunton,  where  he  was  recorded  as  Samuel  Hall,  Jr., 
removed  to  Middleboro  where  he  sold  several  lots  of  land  in  Taun- 
ton, the  deed  for  the  last  of  which  was  signed  by  him  and  wife 
Abigail,  probably  his  2d  wife,  he  did  not  write  his  name  but  simply 
made  his  mark.  They  had  seven  children  born  in  Taunton  and 
probably  others  b,  in  Middleboro.  He  was  probably  buried  in 
Taunton.

1827,  Sarah  IVebster^  dau.  of  Col.  Joseph  William  and  Sybell  (Heath) 
Lawrence,  b.  in  Geneseo,  N.  Y.,  Oct.  12,  1800.  Col.  Lawrence 
was  the  youngest  son  of  Amos  and  Sarah  Webster  Lawrence,  of 
Milton,  who  was  one  of  three  brothers,  sons  of  Joseph  Lawrence  of 
Milton,  Conn.,  and  an  emigrant  horn  Wales.  Col.  Lawrence  was 
a  man  of  resolute  character  and  stern  principles,  and  his  daughter 
Mrs.  Hall  inherited  from  him  a  love  of  fixed  principles,  bringing  with 
it  great  steadiness  of  purpose  and  direction  of  conviction.  Hence  all 
her  life  through,  her  religious  character  was  marked  rather  by  a  settled 
calm  faith  than  by  impulse,  by  fidelity  to  duty  in  all  its  details  than  by 
fitful  enthusiasm  ;  she  took  great  interest  in  helping  with  her  influence 
the  weaker  churches  of  the  city  of  New  York  as  well  as  sympathy  with 
her  husband  in  his  more  extended  work  of  home  missions  ;  she  was 
more  capable  of  self  sacrifice  than  of  self  assertion  •,  her  strength  and 
nobleness  of  character  was  tempered  by  unassuming  grace  and  per- 
sistent affection  and  fidelity.  Mr.  Charles  Hall's  father,  Jacob,  was  a 
man  of  strong,  well  balanced  mind,  retiring  manners  and  intelligent 
piety  ;  his  mother  possessed  in  a  high  degree  that  clearness  of  dis- 
crimination, and  independence  of  judgment  which  was  so  fully  de- 
veloped in  her  son  ;  Charles  Hall  spent  his  boyhood  and  youth  in 
Geneva,  N.  Y.  ;  he  was  modest  and  correct  in  his  deportment,  and 
early  exhibited  a  decided  taste  and  aptness  for  study,  and  with  a  view 
to  engage  in  the  Gospel  ministry  he  entered  the  sophomore  class  in 
Hamilton  College  in  1821  and  graduated  in  1824,  with  the  highest 
honors  of  his  class  ;  studied  theology  at  Princeton  Seminarv,  and  in 
1827  accepted  the  office  of  assistant  secretary  of  the  American  Home 
Missionary  Society  and  in  1837  the  office  of  co-ordinate  secretary  for 
correspondence,  in  which  he  continued  until  his  death  ;  he  was  emi- 
nently fitted  for  his  life's  work  by  his  special  interest  in  missions,  his 
great  clearness  of  judgment  and  ready  manner  of  expression,  his  dis- 
cernment of  character,  his  christian  cheerfulness,  his  hearty  sympathy, 
his  exact  business  habits,  his  fervent  piety,  and  his  self  denying  in- 
dustry ;  his  work  was  in  laying  the  foundations  of  churches  in  all 
parts  of  the  land,  and  the  thousands  of  churches  fostered  by  the 
agency  of  the  Home  Missionary  Society,  from  the  lakes  to  the  gulf, 
and  from  the  highlands  of  Maine  to  the  land  of  gold,  constitute  his 
memorial.  In  private  life  he  was  all  that  intelligence,  piety,  a  sense 
of  justice,  refined  manners,  and  tender  sympathy  could  make  him  ;  he 
delighted  in  congenial  society,  to  him  home  was  a  charmed  word, 
and   he  was   very  happy  in    his  family.       He  resided   in  New  York

The  following  is  an  abridged  sketch  taken  from  the  New  York 
Evangelist. 

"  Rev.  Sherman  Hall  was  born  in  Wethersfield,  Vt.,  April  30, 1800, 
and  died  at  Sauk  Rapids,  Minn..  Sept.  1,  1880,  by  means  of  injuries 
received  in  falling  from  his  wagon  and  striking  on  the  back  of  his 
head.  He  married  Betsey  Parker,  of  Wethersfield,  Vt.,  who  with 
three  children  survive  him,  viz.  Mr.  E.  S.  Hall,  Mrs.  H.  P.  Hicks 
and  Mrs.  Richard  Cronk  ;  he  studied  at  Exeter  Academy  two  years, 
at  Dartmouth  College  four  years,  and  three  years  at  Andover  Theo- 
logical Seminary  ;  he  graduated  at  college  in  1828  ;  and  immediately 
after  leaving  Andover  Seminary  he  went  west  through  the  great  lakes 
as  a  missionary  of  the  A.  B.  C.  F.  M.,  to  the  Indians  at  La  Point, 
Wis.,  where  he  translated  the  Bible  into  the  Chippewa  language,  and 
it  is  still  in  use  ;  after  1854  he  was  the  beloved  pastor  of  the  Con- 
gregational Church  at  Sauk  Rapids,  until  his  death.  Mr.  Hall  was 
diligent,  faithful,  conscientious,  eminent  for  good  sense  and  practical 
wisdom  ;  he  could  act  as  a  missionary  among  the  Indians,  pastor  of  a 
church  or   a  judge  of  probate.      Rev.  Wm.  T.  Boutwell,  of  Still-

water,  Minn.,  who  was  with  him  nine  years  at  school  and  associated 
with  him  as  a  missionary,  and  as  a  pastor  of  a  neighboring  church, 
says  of  him,  he  was  a  noble  man,  a  faithful  servant  of  Jesus  Christ, 
and  a  beloved  christian  brother.  It  is  said  of  him  that  while  at 
college  he  was  president  of  a  club  for  the  study  and  practice  of 
music  and  that  he  could  read  music  with  great  facility." 


HALLS  OF  LYNN,  SALEM    AND  SAUGUS,  MASS. 

John  Hall  was  of  Lynn  in  1630,  perhaps  the  same  "  Mr.  John 
Hall  who  was  admitted  an  inhabitant  of  Salem,  June  28,  1637,  being

There  was  also  a  John  Hall  from  Saugus,  who  appeared  at  court 
in  Salem,  Aug.  3,  1637,  to  answer  a  complaint  by  Anthony  Colbye 
of  Ipswich.  And  there  was  an  Edward  Hall  of  Salem,  who  was 
fined  by  the  Court  of  Salem,  Jan.  27,  1638,  for  being  drunk,  the 
fine  was  to  be  paid  by  Mr.  Friend,  whose  hired  man  Edward  Hall 
was.  Mr.  Friend  was  admitted  an  inhabitant  of  Salem,  July  25, 
1637  (see  7th  and  8th  vols,  of  Essex  Institutes). 

Edward  Hall,  of  Lynn,  perhaps  son  of  John,  died  in  Lynn  in  1669, 
he  had  wife  Sarah,  children  were  :  1.  Joseph,  b.  July  3,  1646  (see

HALLS  OF  SALISBURY,  MASS. 

Thomas  Hall,  Edward  Hall,  Samuel  Hall  and  John  Hall,  were  in 
Salisbury.     The  list  of  freemen  gives  as  follows  :   "  Thomas  of  John, 


Appendix.  721 

Edward,  Samuel,  made  freemen  1634,  1635, 1638,"  and  John  probably 
became  freeman  in  1640  (see  Savage's  Dictionary).  These  all  may 
have  been  the  sons  of  John  Hall,  of  Lynn,  1630. 

1.  Thomas  Hall,  he  might  have  been  the  Thomas  Hall  who  was 
in  Hartford,  Conn.,  before  1640,  or  the  one  who  settled  in  New 
York  city. 

2.  Edward  Hall,  he  probably  settled  in  Rehoboth,  Mass.,  or 
possibly  in  Lynn. 

3.  and  4.  Samuel  and  John  Hall  were  proprietors  of  Salisbury  in 
1640,  and  both  were  accorded  the  honorable  prefix  of  Mr.  of  whom 
there  were  only  eight  out  of  a  list  of  sixty-six  inhabitants.  John 
was  from  Lynn,  he  married  April  3,  1641,  Rebecca,  widow  of  Henry 
Bailey,  of  Salisbury,  and  had  a  son  John,  b.  Jan.  18,  1642,  and  per- 
haps others.  After  his  death  his  widow  petitioned  for  liberty  to  sell 
land  ;  and  married,  3d,  Aug.  22,  1647,  Mr.  William  Worcester,  the 
minister  of  Salisbury. 

Samuel  Hall  it  is  supposed,  was  in  this  country  in  1633,  anc^  went 
into  the  wilderness  late  in  the  fall  to  explore  and  to  trade  with  the 
Indians,  and  returned  in  January,  1634,  and  afterwards  returned  to 
England;  came  to  ihis  country  again  from  Canterbury,  Eng.,  in 
ship  Hercules,  of  bandwich,  passengers  certified  June  9,  1637,  wife 
Joan,  and  three  servants  He  mav  have  been  that  Samuel  Hall  who 
was  a  member  of  the  ancient  and  honorable  artillery  company  of 
Boston,  in  1638.  Samuel  Hall  paid  the  largest  tax  of  any  man  in 
town  for  Mr.  Worcester's  salary.  Mr.  Hall  had  an  appointment 
in  165 1  to  lay  out  the  northernmost  line  of  Hampton  towards 
Piscataqua  river,  and  several  other  similar  appointments.  There  is 
honorable  mention  made  of  him  on  twelve  pages  of  the  4th  vol.  of 
Rec.  Mass.  Col.  He  was  the  representative  of  Salisbury  in  general 
court  in  1655,  and  was  appointed  a  committee  to  fix  workmens' 
wages.  He  finally  returned  to  England,  and  died  at  Langford  near 
Maiden,  in  Essex,  in  1680. 

James  Hall,  of  Salisbury,  had  wife  Mary,  and  children  :  1.  John, 
b.  July,  1693.  2.  Joseph,  b.  Dec.  12,  1695.  3.  Edward,  b.  June 
2,  1698  (see  Gen.  Reg.,  vol.  8,  p.  157).

HALLS  OF  DOVER,  N.  H. 

There  were  three  by  the  name  of  John  Hall,  taxed  in  Dover, 
from  1650  to  1657  ;  an  account  of  one  them  is  given  in  this  book, 
(see  page  152);  in  1649  two  were  taxed  as  follows:  John  Hall 
£0  14*  lod ;  John  Hall  £\  6s  4^;  but  in  1650  three  were  taxed  as 
follows:  John  Hall,  £1  45  6d ;  John  Hall,  Jr.,  £0  12*  6d  ;  John 
Hall,  £0  iox  lod.  The  first  name  appears  to  be  with  the  Dover 
Neck  names,  the  second  with  the  Bloody  Point  names,  and  the  third 
with  those  of  Oyster  Bay,  but  neither  particular  is  certain.  The 
tax  for  1657  tney  were  taxed  as  follows  : 

Dea.  John  Hall,  £3  14.S  od;  Sergeant  John  Hall,  £2  or  gd;  John

724  Appendix. 

These  tax  lists  are  all  the  information  we  have  been  able  to  obtain 
concerning  the  third  John  Hall,  the  one  probably  at  Oyster  Bay. 

But  with  regard  to  the  second  John  Hall,  the  sergeant,  we  have 
the  following  account,,  viz  : 

John  Hall  of  Dover,  N.  H.,  at  first  lived  on  Dover  Neck,  and 
his  name  appears  on  the  combination  list  Oct.  22,  1640,  and  on  the 
protest  against  Underhill,  April  4,  1641,  on  which  he  made  his  mark, 
evidently  not  being  able  to  write  ;  his  name  was  on  the  tax  list  for 
1648.  Probably  about  this  time  he  exchanged  premises  with  Rider 
Hatevil  Nutter,  for  land  on  Great  Bay  called  Bloody  Point  and 
Greenland,  to  which  he  made  additions  ;  in  the  tax  list  of  1657  ^e 
is  called  Sergeant  John  Hall  ;  his  farm  was  partly  in  the  town  of 
Portsmouth  and  he  was  taxed  there  also.  '  He  made  his  will  Aug. 
29,  1677,  and  it  was  probated  Oct.  31,  1677  »  m  lt  ne  gives  to  his 
wife  Elizabeth,  son  Joseph,  dau.  Sarah,  and  granddaughter  Abigail, 
dau.  of  John  Dam  or  Dame,  b.  April  5,  1663  ;  Mr.  Dam,  m  ,  2d, 
before  1665. 

Joseph  Hall,  son  of  Sergeant  John  Hall,  inherited  a  handsome  estate 
from  his  father ;  he  m.  Elizabeth  Smith,  a  niece  of  the  famous 
Maj.  Richard  Waldron,  and  died  of  the  small  pox  Dec.  19,  1685, 
leaving  his  widow,  who  married  Aug.  7,  1687,  Thomas  Packer,  of 
Portsmouth,  and  d.  Aug.  14,  1 7 1 7,  ae.  62  ;  Joseph  Hall  left  three 
daughters,  Elizabeth,  Sarah  and  . 

Elizabeth,  m.,  January  24,  1694,  Joshua  Pierce,  b  1670. 
He  came  to  Portsmouth  in  about  1700;  his  mother  was  Dorothy, 
a  sister  of  Parson  Pike.  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Pierce  d.  Jan.  13,  1718  ; 
Mr.  Pierce  m.  again,  and  d.  in  1743,  he  had  nine  children  by  his

Harvard  College  1728  ;  m.  Ann,  dau.  of  John  Rindge,  and  d.  Dec. 
5,  1773  '  ne  nad  f°ur  crn'dren,  the  youngest  of  whom  was  Joseph, 
who  became  a  member  of  congress  in  1801,  and  d.  at  Alto.i,  Sept. 
12,  1812  ;  the  third  child  of  Daniel  Pierce  was  John,  b.  Aug  19, 
1746,  who  was  the  father  of  Col.  Joshua  W.  Pierce,  b.  May  14, 
1791,  d.  April  10,  1874,  who  had  a  good  share  of  the  Hall  farm 
in  Dover. 

Sarah,  dau.  of  Joseph  Hall,  m.,  Oct.  17,  1700,  Clement 
Jackson,  and  their  son,  Hall  Jackson,  was  in  his  day  probably  the 
most  able  physician  and  surgeon  in  the  state;  he  m.,  Dec.  1,  1765,

The  other  dau.  of  Joseph  Hall  m.  Israel  March,  who  came  from 
perhaps  Newbury,  Mass.,  and  if  so,  was  of  the  same  family  as  were 
those  of  Sutton,  Mass.  They  had  a  son  Clement,  b.  1707,  who  in- 
herited a  portion  of  the  Hall  estate  in  Dover;  he  was  captain  of  the 
Horse  Guards,  and  became  a  judge,  and  was  a  representative  for  many 
years.  His  son  Clement  March,  Jr.,  succeeded  as  heir  to  the  estate, 
he  graduated  at  Harvard  College,  and  became  a  physician  ;  m.  Lucy 
Dudley  Wainwright,  and  had  six  sons,  of  whom  Joseph  W.  March, 
had  the  homestead,  and  it  descended  to  his  son.  I  am  indebted  to  Rev. 
Dr.  Alonzo  Hall  Quint,  of  Dover,  for  the  most  of  my  knowledge  of 
the  Halls  of  Dover.
